Abstract :
In this paper a new model of Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) RAKE receiver has been proposed for multipath fading mitigation based on maximum ratio combining diversity. The analytical model has been verified considering Rayleigh multipath fading channel. The simulation results substantiate that the proposed MC-CDMA RAKE receiver provides better immunity to multipath fading and offers improved Bit Error Rate (BER) performance than conventional MC-CDMA receiver.
