    So this is basically what they call frequency hopping, right?

      Frequency hopping is what Bluetooth does, a moment at 2.423 GHz, the next moment at 2.457 GHz.

      This is a more complex version of that. If you imagine the spectrum like a screen full of static, then it would be like the transmitter and receiver share a secret code about putting information in that static: A random set of pixels for each unit of signal on the spectrum, and the encoding is more complex as well (think of all the different ways you could describe the relationships between the randomly used pixels).

      So Bluetooth would look like blips hopping around and, whereas this looks like static

        Wait, is the transmitter actually generating misleading static on frequencies currently not in use or it just a metaphor?

          It's more of a metaphor. What's happening is that the signal to noise ratio across the band of spectrum is incredibly low, but if you know exactly what parts of the band to look at in that exact moment and filter out the rest, the signal is there. It's not deliberately transmitting noise.

          Also to clarify, "frequency hopping" more often refers to older mechanisms like the trunking systems commonly used by police departments and utility companies, where you have a control frequency and a block of communication frequencies which are allocated on demand (often changing several times per second). These are easier to jam than spread spectrum, either by jamming the control frequency or jamming a known block of communication frequencies. They follow a much more distinct and recognizable pattern. The frequency changes, but they still put the full transmission power into narrow slices of spectrum which can be seen on any decent spectrum analyzer (expensive hardware, but hardly state exclusive).
