Simulation research on direct sequence spread spectrum communication system over Rayleigh Fading Channels

Abstract

Under the software environment of MATLAB/Simulink, the communication system of direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) is dynamically modeled and simulated over a new practical Rayleigh channel, and the relationship curves of the bit error rate (BER) with the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of DSSS communication systems are presented. It is analyzed that DSSS system can effectively overcome multipath fading in multipath Rayleigh Fading Channel (RFC). In addition, the anti-multipath fading performance improved by the way of increasing pseudo noise (PN) code length is better than that by the way of increasing the spread spectrum gain in the condition of strong multipath fading.
