Abstract

A system and method communicates and generates a Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (COFDM) communications signal as a plurality of subcarriers. Selected subcarriers are turned ON and OFF while also frequency hopping and spreading the selected ON subcarriers over the frequency domain based on a fixed or variable sample rate to reduce average power for enhanced Low Probability of Interception/Low Probability of Detection (LPI/LPD) and also allow for more transmit power within a spectral mask.
