Performance of DS/CDMA and BFSK Signals in Rayleigh Fading Channels By D. Brian Epstein And Robert Taylor 06 Dec 99 University of Texas at Dallas EE6390 Introduction to Wireless Communications Supervising Professor: Dr. Murat Torlak ABSTRACT This paper utilizes the Clark and Gans Fading Model to implement a Rayleigh Fading Simulator using MATLAB. The Rayleigh fading channel is tested using BFSK and DS/CDMA. BFSK is a frequency shift keying type of modulation and DS/CDMA is an example of spread spectrum modulation. Spread spectrum modulation uses a pseudo-noise sequence to spread the signal across a wide bandwidth. Cross-correlating this signal with a locally-generated version of the pseudo-noise sequence de-spreads the signal which restores the modulated message to the same narrow band as the original. The results of this simulation are analyzed using the using bit error rate (BER) to compare their performance. Other performance factors are the number of level crossings and the average fade duration.INTRODUCTION Cellular wireless systems experience loss of signal strength due to: Doppler shift in mobile environments, and Scattering due to reflections from natural and manmade obstructions. R. H. Clarke modeled the mobile channel as a Rayleigh fading channel. Later, M. J. Gans deduced a spectral model from Clarke’s original analysis. John I. Smith simulated the Clarke and Gans model on a computer using the algorithm described below. DESCRIPTION In his model [1], R. H. Clarke considers a non-direct line of path between transmitter and receiver in a mobile-radio environment. The signal is reflected and scattered due to obstructions caused by man-made and natural structures. He considers scattered signals of the originally transmitted base station signal to be the only signals received at the mobile end, even though the original signal would be independent of whether it is being transmitted or r
