Spreading Codes
Two requirements for codes:(1) Easy to distinguish a signal from its delayed version.
other users.- very important in CDMA

PN Sequence
PN sequence provides low and constant autocorrelation fornon-zero lags. It well satisfies the first condition, but is notgood for the second condition.

Walsh Function
Different Walsh functions are orthogonal. Walsh function wellsatisfies the second condition, but is not good for the firstcondition.

less fading margin Ï
reduces transmission power
Ï
Single frequency reusing
no need of frequency assignment to cells Ï
improves frequency efficiency
Ï
Gradually quality degradation
variable capacity
Ï
Easy error correction
less burst error
Ï
RAKE diversity
path diversity Ï
ISI problem not significant

Code Division Multiple Access - CDMA
Multiple users occupying the same band by having different codesis known as a CDMA - Code Division Multiple Access system Let
W - spread bandwidth in HzR = 1/T
= Date Rate (data signal bandwidth in Hz)b
S - received power of the desired signal in WJ - received power for undesired signals like multiple access
users, multipath, jammers etc in W E
W/R is called processing gain.

In conventional systems W/R
1 which means, for satisfactory
operation J/S < 1.

Example
Let R = 9600; W = 1.2288 MHz(E
/Nb
min
= 6 dB (values taken from IS-95)
Jamming margin (JM) = 10log

This antijam margin or JM arises from Processing Gain
If (E
/Nb
min
is further decreased or PG is increased, JM can be further
increased.
-^
JM can be used to accommodate multiple users in the same band
-^
If (Eb/N0)min and PG is fixed, number of users is maximized if perfectpower control is employed.
-^
Capacity of a CDMA system is proportional to PG.
