Abstract

In this paper, the BER performance of MMSE/DD (decision-directed minimum mean square error) adaptation algorithm-based space-time array receiver was analyzed for wideband CDMA basestation system, taking account of word length or quantized bit size of weight and input snapshot vectors under Rayleigh fading channel with two multipaths and mobile speed of 60 km/h and 200 km/h. In conjunction with existing demodulator input to the base station modem chip, the floating and fixed point simulation results were examined and the basic guideline to determine the optimal bit resolution of weight and IQ input vectors fed into DBFN (digital beamforming network) was recommended for efficient design of digital beamformers and multi-channel ADCs (analog-to-digital converters)
