Abstract :
We present an alternative derivation for the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a phase-coded spread-spectrum multiple access (SSMA) system by use of ensemble-average approach. We show that our formula can be explicitly expressed in terms of system parameters and the expression for the SNR derived by Pursley (1977) is just a special case when the user number is very large
