Abstract

The differential space-time block code (DSTBC) modulation for DS-CDMA system Liu, J et al., (2002) combines the merits of differential detection based on space-time block codes and spread spectrum technology to improve the performance of CDMA systems in a fast time-dispersive fading channel. In this paper, the new modulation scheme is adapted to a wideband CDMA system operating at a chip rate of 3.84 Mchips/sec and an output data rate of 240 kbits/sec. Simulation results indicate a 13-dB loss in performance when compared to a DSTBC-CDMA system. This loss can be attributed to the high autocorrelation values of the spreading codes.
