In the underwater acoustic communication channels, a multipath reflection becomes the cause of obstacle. To solve this problem, a rake receiver has been required for which one could take the time diversity. However, there is a concern about using incorrect path to recover signals with a high weighting value as underwater acoustic communication channels have severe time-variant property. In order to prevent these problem, a rake receiver is proposed which is based on BER(bit error rate) train sequence duration. The performance is evaluated through lake trials; there are three methods that are a proposed rake receiver, a conventional rake receiver, and a non-rake receiver. As a result, the number of bit errors in the proposed rake receiver, that of bit errors in the conventional rake receiver, and that of bit errors in the non-rake receiver is 8, 45, and 72, respectively.

In this paper, an advanced UWB (ultra wideband) Rake receiving technique based on the statistical distribution model is studied in the M-ary TH-PPM system with multiple access interference (MAI). In order to improve the performance of the Rake receiver, the stochastic model, which can flexibly express the behavior of MAI-plus-noise, is required and the Laplace distribution and the generalized normal Laplace (GNL) model applied by the curtosis matching method are considered. The performance of Rake receiver based on each probability distribution is evaluated in the IEEE multipath fading channel and compared to that of the conventional Rake receiver. The suggested approach shows a superior BER performance than that of conventional Rake receiver.

In this paper, the optimum maximum-likelihood rake receiver for impulsive, fading channel is derived, and a sub-optimun rake receiver with reduced complexity is obtained for practical purposes. Numerical results show that, when the noise is impulsive, the rake receivers designed for impulsive noise offer performance improvement over those optimized for Gaussian environment. It is also observed that, as the number of fingers increases, the performance of the rake receivers designed for impulsive environment improves while the rake receiver optimized for Gaussian environment experiences performance degradation in impulsive environment.

This paper developed a FIR-Rake receiver which makes use of a pilot signal broadcast by the TD-SCDMA (division-synchronous code division multiple access) base station to estimate the channel parameters. The FIR-Rake receiver can reduce multipath interference for the mobile stations. The analysis in frequency and discrete domain and computer simulations confirm that the proposed FIR-Rake receiver achieves a better performance under typical multipath fading propagation conditions.

This paper presents acquisition algorithm and an improved detection technique for the DS/CDMA (direction sequence code division multiple access) RAKE receiver in multipath fading channel. The DS/CDMA systems use the RAKE receiver, an accurate code acquisition is required for the RAKE branches. The algorithmis able to findthe pseudonoise (PN) code delay estimates for the RAKE branches in a multipath fading channel. In this paper a numerical method and computer simulation simulation have been developed for the acquisition system. The detection probability and mean acquisition time are investigated asa performance measure of the system using the Monte Carlo method. And also in order to analyze the effect of the acquisition on the RAKE receiver this paper bring out the effect of integration time, doppler frequency, processing gain and the number of users on the acquired code phase.

본 논문에서는 IMT-2000 시스템에 대한 제안된 표준안을 기초로 송수신 시스템을 구성하여 광대역 무선채널 환경 및 다양한 시스템 운용환경에서 시스템의 성능을 분석한다. 수신 성능의 개선을 위하여 CCI(Co-Channel Interference) Canceller와 Rake 수신기를 혼합하여 기존의 Rake 수신기에서 제거할 수 없었던 자기 간섭(Auto Interference)을 제거하는 새로운 Rake수신기를 제안하였다. 또한 다중 경로 페이딩 모델로는 ITU-R M.1225에서 제시된 모델을 적용하였다. 성능 분석 결과, 상대적으로 작은 지연 확산을 가지는 채널 A가 중간 지연 확산을 가지는 채널 B보다 수신성능이 양호함을 알 수 있었으며, 채널 A와 B에 관계없이 제안된 레이크 수신기를 채용하였을 경우 자기 간섭의 제거 효과로 인해 수신성능이 기존의 레이크 수신기를 채용하였을 경우에 비해 향상됨은 알 수 있었다. 또한 간섭제거기와 제안된 레이크 수신기를 직렬로 연결한 수신기를 채용하였을 경우 다중접속간섭을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있었으며, 수신성능의 차이는 채널 환경이 양호할수록, $E_{b/}$N/ sub o/값이 커질수록 차이가 커짐을 알 수 있었다.다.

In this paper presents the WCDMA(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) system using the rake receiver over multipath fading and wireless mobile communication environments. The interference between the propagation paths in a multipath fading causes a serious degradation in the wireless mobile communication environments. In order to derive the path interference and reduce the fading effect the rake receiver is used. As a result, the WCDMA system using the rake receiver gives a better performance than the convention WCDMA system over a multipath fading and wireless mobile communication environments.

In this paper, we analyze and simulate the performance of RAKE receiver for ultra wide band (UWB) systems in indoor multipath radio channel. Pulse position modulation-time hopping (PPM-TH) signal is considered. And we also consider three types of RAKE receivers, which are ideal RAKE, selective RAKE, and partial RAKE receivers. The indoor channel is modeled as the modified Saleh and Valenzuela (SV) model which has been proposed as a UWB channel model by the IEEE group, IEEE 802.15.SG3a.

In this paper, we modelized the multipath fading to Nakagami-m distribution fading channel which can be applied to the extended mobile communication channel environment. We assumed that the phase difference with reference signal happened in the received signal and in the receiver PLL(Phase Locked Loop) is the phase error. To correct the error we propose new RAKE receiver using PLL. In addition, we analyze the performance of DS/SS(Direct Sequence/spread Spectrum) system according to the gain of PLL,$\gamma_n$, the number of RAKE receiver branch L and MIP(Multipath Intensity Profile)'s exponential decay $\delta$. As a result, when the proposed RAKE receiver L Is increased and the $\delta$ is decreased the performance of the system gets better. Futhermore when PLL gain was 30dB, phase is identified. That is when the PLL gain is 30dB, the performance equals with the perfect coherent system's. Therefore, we can correct the phase error by using the proposed RAKE receiver and we proved that the PLL's requested limit gain should be 30dB.

In this paper, we considered the received signal of the wideband CDMA systems using turbo code in the multipath channel environments, and analyze the performance of the system. This study is to analyze the performance for the variable system bandwidth according to the number of branches of rake receiver by passing the received signal through a rake receiver with a turbo code in Rayleigh fading channel environments. For the design of receiver in wideband CDMA systems, we presented the efficient parameters for the number of iterative decoding and the number of branches of rake receiver.
