Information on Frequency Hopping (FH)

Using frequency hopping (FH), data is transmitted at one frequency, the transmitter changes frequency and data is transmitted at the new frequency. Frequency hopping is employed as a multiple access technique as well a mechanism for low probability of intercept and resistance to jamming.

  • frequency-division multiple access (FDMA)
    		•
  • time-division multiple access (TDMA)
  • code-division multiple access (CDMA)

  • carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA)
  • token ring
