Systems, subsystems and methods for coding and decoding of signals

Abstract

A transceiver subsystem comprising at least: a transmitter (Tx) subsystem configured to spread obtained data signals; a receiver (Rx) subsystem configured to receive and de-spread spread spectrum signals; and an illumination unit, comprising at least one light source, the illumination unit being configured to generate optical frequency combs (OFCs) and direct each OFC through one of at least two different optical paths, where the Tx Subsystem and the Rx subsystem use the same illumination unit and the same at least two OFCs, for both spreading and de-spreading of signals. A receiver subsystem for de-spreading of received spread spectrum signals that uses a synchronization subsystem having a pulse generator configured to introduce gating pulses into one of two optical paths; and a synchronization module configured at least to perform a search for determining a timing Tc of a correlation pulse, selecting at least one correlation pulse for de-spreading thereof.
