چکیده

Acoustic communications using a direct-sequence spread spectrum modulation with a RAKE receiver was tested during the KauaiEx experiment (in Hawaii). The oceanography was measured along the communications path during this test, so that the propagation of the communications transmissions could be subsequently modeled. Such simultaneous measurements provide a continuous picture of how the ocean waveguide evolved during the transmissions, enabling us to isolate what was influencing communications performance. This paper presents an analysis of DSSS Rake receiver performance at this shallow water coastal site.

MLSE receiver for direct-sequence spread-spectrum systems on a multipath fading channel

To accommodate high-speed data transmissions, it may be necessary to substantially reduce the processing gain of a direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) system. As a result, intersymbol interference effects may become more severe. In this paper, we present a new structure for maximum-likelihood sequence estimation equalization of DSSS signals on a multipath fading channel that performs the fun...

Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Communications System in a Multipath Fading Channel. Rake Receiver Performance Analysis

The use of direct sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) baseband modulation in a mobile communication system have proved to bring many advantages. In this paper a study of the DS-SS modulation and its performances in a multipath fading channel is presented, considering different parameters for the system and communication channel. A RAKE receiver is implemented to achieve diversity over the differen...

Study on the Structure of an Efficient Receiver for Covert Underwater Communication Using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum

This paper proposes an underwater communication receive model based on the spread spectrum technique in order to provide the characteristic of a low probability of interception. To do this, turbo equalization techniques employing Bahl-Cocke-Jelinek-Raviv (BCJR) decoding to improve performance through repetition are applied to offer excellent performance even at a low signal to noise ratio (SNR)...

Joint Scale-lag Diversity in Mobile Wideband Communications

We consider the effect of mobility on a wideband direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) communication system, and study a scale-lag Rake receiver capable of leveraging the diversity that results from mobility. A wideband signal has a large bandwidthto-center frequency ratio, such that the typical narrowband Doppler spread assumptions do not apply to mobile channels. Instead, we assume a more ge...

Direct-Sequence/Spread-Spectrum Communication System with Sampling Rate Selection Diversity

In this paper, sampling rate selection diversity (SRSD) scheme for Direct-Sequence/Spread-Spectrum (DS/SS) is proposed. In DS/SS communication systems, oversampling may be employed to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). However, oversampling enlarges the power consumption because signal processing of the receiver has to be carried out at a higher clock rate. Higher sampling rate does not ...
