Abstract
In this paper, we present a RAKE receiver design with adaptive antenna arrays for the wide-band code-division multiple-access (WCDMA) frequency-division duplexing (FDD) uplink. The RLS-based adaptive beamforming scheme is proposed and can be built with the existing one-dimensional RAKE receiver. We adaptively calculate the beamforming weight vector for each multipath of the desired user, and use maximum ratio combining (MRC) to combine each multipath signal in the demodulation process. Two matched filters based on the spreading waveforms are designed in our scheme for WCDMA FDD uplink application. The proposed scheme has the ability of suppressing strong multiuser access interference and the other types of interferers through spatial nulling. The tracking capability of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated in the simulation results.
