<strong>and</strong> transmits through the satellite whenever needed, with all active stationssuperimposing their waveforms on the downlink. As such, no time orfrequency separation is required. Carrier separation is achieved at each earthstation by identifying the carrier with the proper signature.The uplink station, as in Fig. 5.7(b), spreads the user’s spectrum <strong>of</strong> Fig.5.7(a). The spread spectrum might contain some noise <strong>and</strong> other interferencewhen it is retransmitted. The receiver recovers the useful information byreducing the spectrum <strong>of</strong> the carrier transmitted in its original b<strong>and</strong>width, as inFig. 5.7(c). The effect <strong>of</strong> noise <strong>and</strong> other interference has been suppressed inFig. 5.7(c) for brevity. This operation simultaneously spreads the spectrum <strong>of</strong>other users in such a way that they appear as noise <strong>of</strong> low spectral density.It should be noted that one could not simply use codes <strong>of</strong> arbitrarydifferent phases to provide CDMA, because the codes have high-autocorrelationsidelobes at the subsequent periods. Furthermore, the power spectraldensity <strong>of</strong> the codes has line components at frequencies corresponding to each<strong>of</strong> the code periods [8].The spreading ratio is determined primarily by the code ratio k c =r c <strong>and</strong>can be achieved either with low-rate channel codes or long address codes,wherek c ¼ T s Bð5:5Þr c ¼ 1ð5:6ÞT s r bThus, the spreading ratio: k c =r c ¼ B=r b . This ratio is commonly referred to asthe spreading ratio <strong>of</strong> the code modulation or CDMA b<strong>and</strong>width expansionfactor. In some texts, this ratio is halved because the carrier b<strong>and</strong>width is takenas B=2.CDMA has some advantages:1. It is simple to operate.2. It does not require any transmission synchronization betweenstations. The only synchronization required is that <strong>of</strong> the receiverto the sequence <strong>of</strong> the received carrier.3. It <strong>of</strong>fers sufficient protection against interference from other stations<strong>and</strong> that due to multiple paths. This makes CDMA attractive fornetworks <strong>of</strong> small stations with large antenna beamwidths <strong>and</strong> forsatellite communication with mobiles.However, on the average, its main disadvantage is the low throughputdemonstrated in the next section.Copyright © 2002 by Marcel Dekker, Inc.
