Abstract

We examine the performance of two linear equalizers for a CDMA downlink over a frequency-selective multipath channel: the traditional RAKE receiver, and a chip-level MMSE (minimum mean square error) equalizer. The mobile-station assumed to be midway between two base-stations. We examine the system performance for one versus two receive antennas, and normal operation versus soft-hand-off mode. MMSE is confirmed to outperform RAKE. Also, having two receive antennas is superior to having a single antenna. Simulation results are presented for uncoded BPSK and 16-QAM, and BPSK with convolutional coding
