In this thesis a modified implementation of the adaptive minimum mean squared error (MMSE) receiver for a time division code division multiple access (TD-CDMA) system for third generation mobile communications is presented. This implementation can operate with spreading sequences which span over a few symbols and in environments where more than one spreading code is allocated to a single user. Two structures which combine the presented MMSE structure and the Rake receiver are also presented in an attempt to combine the advantages of both structures. After analysing the effect on a direct sequence spread spectrum system of multiple access interference and multipath fading induced inter-chip interference, the existing techniques for multiple access interference suppression capabilities ...
