A class of band-limited chip waveforms for DS-CDMA systems

  • Published:
Journal of Electronics (China)

Abstract

In Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) systems, the chip waveform affects the implementation, system bandwidth, envelope uniformity, eye pattern and Multiple user Access Interference (MAI). In this paper, based on an elementary density function of a second order polynomial, a class of second order continuity pulses is proposed. From this class of pulses, we can find some members having faster decaying rate, bigger eye opening, more uniform envelope and stronger anti-MAI capability than the Nyquist waveform. The normalized-bandwidth-pulse-shape-factor product, the decaying rate of the tail of the time waveform, the opening of the eye diagram, and the envelope uniformity of the second order continuity pulses are addressed in the paper that provide the basic information for the selection of the chip pulse for CDMA systems.
