ABSTRACT

In this project simulation and implementation deals with the data transmission of the signal using Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) for the design of Modem. We use modulation technique Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) for data transmission and reception. The direct sequence spread spectrum is used in CDMA. In the usage CDMA the data transmission between different users is obtained. The system is characterized with high data rate and low bit error probability. As in CDMA we had used the Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) where the modulated signal spectrums generated by PN sequence is transmitted through FFT which shows the FFT spread spectrum. In MATLAB, using digital format signals different intermediate outputs are simulated and modulation and demodulation of signals are obtained which are shown in this project. Code division multiple access (CDMA) is a multiple access technique where different users share the same physical medium, that is, the same frequency band, at the same time. The main ingredient of CDMA is the spread spectrum technique, which uses high rate signature pulses to enhance the signal bandwidth far beyond what is necessary for a given data rate[3]. In a CDMA system, the different users can be identified and, hopefully, separated at the receiver by means of their characteristic individual signature pulses (sometimes called the signature waveforms), that is, by their individual codes. CDMA is a form of "spread-spectrum" signaling, since the modulated coded signal has a much higher data bandwidth than the data being communicated. Nowadays, the most prominent applications of CDMA are mobile communication systems. A completely different approach, realized in CDMA systems, does not attempt to allocate disjoint frequency or time resources to each user. Instead the system allocates all resources to all active users. In direct sequence (DS) CDMA systems, the narrowband message signal is multiplied by a very largebandwidth signal called the spreading signal. All users in a DS CDMA system use the same carrier frequency and may transmit simultaneously. Each user has its own spreading signal, which is approximately orthogonal to the spreading signals of all other users[9]. The receiver performs a correlation operation to detect the message addressed to a given user. The signals from other users appear as noise due to decorrelation. For detecting the message signal, the receiver requires the spreading signal used by the transmitter. Each user operates independently with no knowledge of the other users (uncoordinated transmission).
