Abstract

Intersymbol Interference (ISI) always appears when the communication channel is a multi-path channel. Many methods are used to reduce the effect of ISI. In this paper we focus on the autocorrelation property of the spreading codes and the role it plays in minimizing the ISI effect, where we obtain the spreading codes with minimum autocorrelation property. The results of comparing the average autocorrelation of the obtained codes with that of the well known Hadamard codes show a great enhancement in the performance, where for example, for codes of length 8 a gain of 408% was achieved at one shift, and for codes of length 16 a gain of 530% was achieved at one shift.
