Abstract

In this paper, the effects of directive antennas and the array structure on ST-Rake receivers in direct-sequence CDMA (DS-CDMA) communication are studied. Conformal arrays with individual directional antennas are proposed. Using these arrays, the full-dimension ST adaptive receiver can be divided into multiple reduced-dimension receivers; therefore, computational requirements can be significantly reduced and fewer training data are needed to estimate the environment. In this paper, we demonstrate optimum system performance of directive antennas assuming known interference and noise statistics.
