Abstract
The performance of coherent direct-sequence spread-spectrum communications over specular multipath fading channels is investigated. The average probability of error of the correlation receiver is derived for an arbitrary number of paths with deterministic or random gain coefficients. The gain coefficients, delays, and phase angles of any two distinct paths are modeled as mutually independent random variables. Numerical results for several values of the system and channel parameters are presented.
