The Performance of Direct-Sequence Spread-Spectrum Communications With Selective Fading Channels and Rake Reception

Abstract

dc:description

The performance of a direct-sequence spread-spectrum communication system is evaluated for selective fading channels and rake reception. Several issues are examined that influence the probability of error of the system, and closed-form expressions are obtained for the probability of error. The development of these expressions and the use of a general class of channel models permit the removal of some restrictions and approximations that have been employed previously in the analysis of rake receiver performance.
