Abstract

The authors explored the benefits of employing STAR as a wideband CDMA receiver. It is shown that it inherently addresses data recovery and channel characterization through its analysis/synthesis paradigm. Simulation results carried out on real-world channel measurements showing the robustness and quick adaptation rate of STAR in terms of time-delay tracking performance and carrier frequency offset recovery were presented. Then an overview of the preferred hardware embodiment along with hard values in terms of hardware resource utilization, showing that a 24-user STAR-enabled 3G base station receivers can be realized within a single XC2V6000 FPGA was given.
