Abstract :
Future mobile communication systems based on DS-CDMA require detailed characterization of the radio channel in the multipath delay domain (for short, the path domain). CDMA system designers need channel information in the form of RAKE fingers for successful receiver design. This work presents analysis of measurement results for obtaining active RAKE fingers and their characteristics.
