Bearing Estimation Techniques for Improved Performance Spread Spectrum Receivers (1995)
Abstract / truncated to 115 words
The main topic of this thesis is the use of bearing estimation techniques combined with multiple antenna elements for spread spectrum receivers. The motivation behind this work is twofold: firstly, this type of receiver structure may offer the ability to locate the position of a mobile radio in an urban environment. Secondly, these algorithms permit the application of space division multiple access (SDMA) to cellular mobile radio, which can offer large system capacity increases. The structure of these receivers may naturally be divided into two parts: signal detection and spatial filtering blocks. The signal detection problem involves locating the bearings of the multipath components which arise from the transmission of the desired user’s signal. There ...
