Design of a sparse irregular array for beyond 5G base stations

New generations of mobile communications are much more demanding in order to provide critical real-time services and extremely fast connections that have become feasible with 5G. A wider spectrum is needed to achieve such high data rates and millimeter-wave frequencies are used for this purpose. Adaptive beamforming is applied at base stations...

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...
