Abstract

In this paper we present a methodology to design pulse shapes for a direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) ranging signal, using a multicarrier (MC) modulation. The advantage of this signal design methodology is that it allows us to perform spectral shaping with very low Peak-to-Average-Power Ratio (PAPR). This feature makes this approach very interesting for ranging systems for which flexible resource allocation and power efficiency are major concerns, e.g. GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems).
