Abstract

The requirement to suppress narrowband interferences in CDMA communication stems fromthe overlay concept, i.e., coexistence of different types ofsignals in the same frequency band. This paper describes the performance analysis of a direct-sequence (DS) CDMA personal communication systemsharing a common spectrum with narrowband microwave radio links in the1.85 to 1.99 GHz band. The coexistence of these two systemswithin the same frequency band will improve the overall spectrum efficiency,but will also cause interference to both systems. In this paper it isshown that joint spatial and temporal optimum combiningprovides an efficient means of improving the performance of the DS-CDMAsystem through cancellation of the narrowband signal and the co-channel interferences. The proposed space-time architectureprovides degrees of freedom for both diversity and interferencecancellation. It is shown that the joint space-time receiver is robustwith respect to the narrowband interference signal bandwidth and its carrier frequency offset from the DS-CDMA carrier frequency.
