Effect of Pulse Shaping on the Performance of DS-CDMA in a Multipath Fading Channel

This report gives first an overview of the main modulation methods and of the multipath propagation effects. A model is described to simulate BPSK, QPSK and OK-QPSK in some measured indoor channels. Several pulse shapes are analysed and their effects discussed on single-user systems and on DS-CDMA. The main performance parameter is the bit error...
