Popis: In this paper, we study the spectrum usage efficiency by applying wideband methods and systems to the existing analog systems and applications. The essential motivation of this work is to define the prospective coexistence between analog FM and digital Spread Spectrum systems in an efficient way sharing the same frequency band. The potential overlaid Spread Spectrum (SS) system can spectrally coincide within the existing narrowband Frequency Modulated (FM) broadcasting system upon several limitations, originating a key motivation for the use of the FM radio frequency band in many applications, encompassing wireless personal and sensors networks. The performance of the SS system due to the overlaying analog FM system, consisting of multiple narrowband FM stations, is investigated in order to derive the relevant bit error probability and maximum achievable data rates. The SS system uses direct sequence (DS) spreading, through maximal length pseudorandom sequences with long spreading codes. The SS signal is evaluated throughout theoretical and simulation-based performance analysis, for various types of spreading scenarios, for different carrier frequency offset ({\Delta}f) and signal-to-interference ratios, in order to derive valuable results for future developing and planning of an overlay scenario.
