FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum): A method of transmitting radio signals by rapidly switching a carrier among many frequency channels using a pseudorandom sequence known as the hopping pattern. This technique minimizes interference, enhances security through eavesdropping prevention, and supports code-divisional multiple access (CDMA) communications. To correctly receive the signal, the recipient must use the same hopping sequence.
