This paper describes a design of RAKE receiver for the cellular CDMA mobile communication system on the multipath fading channel. To measure impulse response on the multipath fading environment. partial correlation properties of short PN code that transmitted at a cell site through the pilot channel was used. We used 12 despread paths for compensating about 10 s multipath spread and proposed the compensation algorithm. For processing of digital converted input signal, we proposed full digitalized logics and its validity was verified by computer and timing simulation.

In this experiment I have made FM-DS/SS system replacing 170.120 MHz by utilizing FM transmitter and receiver. In the transmitter, the result shows that the modulated FM-DS/SS signal is a typical $(sin \chi/\chi)^2$ spectrum by using the clock(1.329 MHz) of PN divided from FM carrier. In the receiver, SO(Synchronous Oscillator) was applied to despread. Like figure 1, 2, and 4 when I applied SO, which consists of sliding correlator, to synchronous a favorable properties could be obtained in the receiver of FM-DS/SS system. In this paper, I used SO in order to take synchronous in the construction of FM-DS/SS system, and to support it I presented the result of the experiment on synchronous curve and properties of OS.

This paper proposes a robust sub-optimal smart antenna in Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) basestation. It makes use of the property of the Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm and the Conjugate Gradient Method (CGM) algorithm for beamforming processes. The weight update takes place at symbol level which follows the PN correlators of receiver module under the assumption that the post correlation desired signal power is far larger than the power of each of the interfering signals. The proposed algorithm is simple and has as low computational load as five times of the number of antenna elements(O(5N)) as a whole per each snapshot. The output Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) of the proposed smart antenna system when the weight vector reaches the steady state has been examined. It has been observed in computer simulations that proposed beamforming algorithm improves the SINR significantly compared to the single antenna case. The convergence property of the weight vector has also been investigated to show that the proposed hybrid algorithm performs better than CGM and LMS during the initial stage of the weight update iteration. The Bit Error Rate (BER) characteristics of the proposed array has also been shown as the processor input Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) varies.

The performance variations of a spatio temporal smart antenna which is equipped at the basestation of CDMA cellular communication network due to the parametric change of multipath fading environment are studied in this paper. The smart antenna of interest employs space diversity based adaptive array structure in conjunction with rake receiver that has fingers the number of which is the same as that of multipath links. The beamforming is achieved via LMS(Least Mean Square) algorithm in which a reference signal is generated using decision directed formula. It has been shown by computer simulation that the performance of our smart antenna of interest depends significantly upon not only the degree of desired signal's DOA(Direction of Arrival)spread but the number of fingers of the rake receiver. The relative insensitivity of the smart antenna's performance on desired signal's delay spread has also been observed. Computer simulation has shown that the increase of the number of fingers brings in a nonlinear enhancement of the performance of our smart antenna. The renewal of weight vector in the beamforming procedure is taken place at post PN despread stage.
