Frequency Hopping: A method of transmitting radio signals by rapidly switching a carrier among many frequency channels, using a pseudorandom sequence known to both transmitter and receiver. This technique minimizes the risk of interference and interception, as it appears as short bursts of noise on any one channel. It is widely used in technologies like Bluetooth and some secure communication channels. Frequency hopping is effective against signal jamming and eavesdropping and improves the sharing of the radio spectrum among multiple users.
