Abstract

The performance and capacities of differential-encoded fast frequency-hopping multiple-access (FFHMA) systems under Nakagami-m fading channels are studied. A space-frequency coding (SFC) scheme is applied to gain diversity order. The proposed FFHMA transmitter can operate without an output hopping filter. The simulation results show that the receiver can detect the transmitted signal when the maximum Doppler frequency closes to 350 Hz. The performance of synchronous FFHMA systems can be improved by spreading factor and average SNR per bit. In a Rayleigh fading channel, the system capacity of FFHMA for BER about 10^-3 is derived from simulation and it is about 5, 24, and 61 users for spreading factor of 1, 2, and 4, respectively.
