ABSTRACT
In this paper, a multi-carrier signaling technique is applied to a direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) system. This type of signaling has the desirable properties of lower chip rate, exhibiting a narrow band interference suppression effect, along with robustness to fading, without the need of either an explicit RAKE receiver or an interference suppression filter. Band limited spreading waveforms are used to prevent self-interference. The system performance over a frequency selective Rayleigh channel is evaluated analytically and through computer simulation, in the presence of partial band interference.
