Performance degradation due to code tracking errors on a RAKE spread-spectrum receiver in the presence of unresolvable multipath
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of multipath and tracking error on a RAKE receiver have been analyzed in this paper. It has been shown that in the presence of unresolvable multipath, the RAKE receiver, formed by combining same samples that are used for tracking, is less sensitive to the tracking error, and that there is a wide range of tracking errors for which such receiver outperforms conventional receiver. Also, the effects of how interchip interference degrades performance of the proposed receiver have been examined.

A Non-Coherent Tracking Scheme for the RAKE Receiver That Can Cope With Unresolvable Multipath
A novel non-coherent tracking technique for the RAKE receiver is introduced that has a good tracking performance even if multipaths cannot be resolved. Multiple chip-spaced correlators are used on unresolvable multipaths to provide estimates with uncorrelated noise. It is shown that the proposed tracker finds the pseudonoise code timing that maximizes the output of the maximal ratio combiner. T...
متن کاملA multipath resistant PN code tracking algorithm
Multipath propagation is a major source of degradation in the performance of conventional PN code tracking loops. The mean-square tracking error of a conventional delay-locked loop (DLL) exhibits an irreducible floor due to the presence of closely spaced multipath components. In this paper, we present a new PN code tracking algorithm that does not suffer from the presence of multipath component...
متن کاملA modified PN code tracking loop for direct-sequence spread-spectrum communication over arbitrarily correlated multipath fading channels
A modified fully-digital PN code tracking loop is proposed for direct-sequence spread-spectrum communication. By taking advantage of the inherent diversity, a modified code tracking loop is embedded into a RAKE receiver to avoid problems caused by unstable locked points of error signals. Such unsteadiness of locked points often occurs with a conventional code tracking loop because the error sig...

The technology of Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) has been chosen for mobile communication systems because of numerous advantages. A major advantage is that it can provide a better capacity compared to the other possible technologies of multiple access [1]. In a spread spectrum system, the signal bandwidth is increased to a value much larger than is needed to transmit th...

A RAKE receiver accomplishing joint blind multipath diversity combining and PN code timing recovery is proposed for direct-sequence spread-spectrum signaling over a frequency-selective fading channel. In this technique, an improved known modulus adaptive algorithm is exploited to perform multipath diversity combining in the blind mode, while a modified PN code timing recovery technique based on...
