Abstract

IMT-DS, formerly known as Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) system,is one of five radio interface standards adopted for the third generationIMT-2000 systems. In this paper, we present results of our investigation onthe sensitivity of IMT-DS performance to variations in the system parameters.In particular, the performance of a multi-rate IMT-DS system is investigatedfor different Rake structures, interleaving depths, and Doppler frequencies.An approximate expression for the bit error rate (BER) of a Rake receivermismatched to the number of signal paths is derived. It is shown that theperformance is dependent on inter-path-interference. An improvement inperformance is obtained if antenna diversity is combined with traditionallyused path diversity in Rake receivers.
