The dependence of the error performance and spectral efficiency of direct-sequence spread-spectrum multiple-access (DS/SSMA) systems with matched filter receivers on the chip waveform is examined. The actual shape of the chip waveform, as well as its energy, is found to influence the statistical properties of the multiple-access interference (MAI). An approach to design waveforms that may result in interchip interference (ICI) is proposed and a criterion for design based on the conditional Gaussian approximation of the MAI for systems with aperiodic random spreading sequences is derived. For a simplified system, a closed-form solution for optimal band-limited waveforms is obtained for excess bandwidth less than or equal to one by using a performance metric that includes the effect of ICI. Numerical results, based on an analytical method, as well as Monte Carlo simulations, are provided to evaluate the performance of the proposed waveforms in general systems with conventional matched filter receivers
