Spread Spectrum CDMA Systems for Wireless Communications

In eight clearly written chapters, Spread Spectrum CDMA Systems for Wireless Communications outlines the main advantages of the spread spectrum technique, describes its key elements, and also...

• Presents important code acquisition strategies for
  direct sequence (DS) and frequency hopping (FH)
  systems -- and the mathematics used for their analysis
  
• Compares various code tracking loop systems, such as
  Delay Lock Loop (DLL) and Tau Dither Loop (TDL)
  
• Details receiver configurations based on CCD, SAW, and
  DSP matched filters
  
• Examines system capacity issues related to the CDMA cellular network
  
• Explains the CDMA overlay, packetized transmission in
  CDMA networks, and the problems of multiuser detection
  

The practical design guidelines presented throughout the book make it a valuable reference tool for network designers, while updates on various performance aspects help mobile communications managers make better, more informed choices for their own systems. The book also serves as an excellent primer for post-graduate students in communications. Includes 166 illustrations.
