PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
With a history dating back to military radar and sonar systems deployed in World War II, CHIRP Spread Spectrum (CSS) is re-emerging as a new industry standard under IEEE 802.15.4(a). CSS RF modules are here and are expected to drive a new range wireless sensor network applications in what some industry observers are referring to as a “Perfect Storm” of features. CHIRP is immune to most forms of multi-path interference, CHIRP supports accurate range and self-location at distances of several hundred meters, BUT unlike DSSS or FHSS, CHIRP RF is extremely difficult to detect or intercept making it an ideal solution for mission critical military applications .
