Abstract

Antenna diversity is a technique widely used in mobile radio systems to improve performance and reduce fading effects. In this paper, the up-link of a DS-CDMA system is analysed in an outdoor urban environment deeply affected by multipath fading when antenna diversity is applied. The improvement in BER (bit error ratio) performance is evaluated as a function of the number of receiving antennas with and without channel coding. Some results are also presented for a cellular system with several active users, taking into account both intra-cell and intercell interference
