CDMA System Design: Evaluating Walsh & Gold Codes & MIMO Transceiver

This project provides a detailed solution for a CDMA system design, focusing on the implementation and performance analysis of Walsh codes, Gold codes, and a single-user MIMO transceiver. The project includes MATLAB code for simulating a 30-user CDMA system with spreading gains of 64 (Walsh code) and 31 (Gold code), as well as code for evaluating the performance of a single-user MIMO transceiver without forward error correction. Various aspects of CDMA design techniques are explored through questions and MATLAB simulations, covering topics such as signal generation, spreading, despreading, and BER (Bit Error Rate) analysis under different SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) conditions. Performance comparisons of CDMA systems using different diversity techniques are also presented. The project concludes with an emphasis on the effects that strongly influence the performance of CDMA systems.

Abstract
In wireless channel system, a single antenna is used at the source, and another single
antenna is used at the destination. This leads to hitches with multipath effects [1]. When an
electromagnetic field meets a barrier such as mountains, valleys, structures, and service wires,
the signals are dispersed, and thus take different routes to reach the receiver. Scattering of the
signal leads to hitches such as cut-out, fading and intermittent reception. In digital channel
systems such as wireless Internet, it can lead to a reduced signal speed and a rise in the number
of errors [2]–[7]. Adoption of more than one antennas, with the broadcast of compound signals
at the source and the destination, eradicates the distress instigated by multipath wave broadcast.
Introduction
A various access structure based on spread-spectrum transmission technique is referred to
as code division multiple access CDMA. In this system, the information signal is to a wide
extent spread to a wide bandwidth by an exceptional code which aids in minimization of
intrusion hence increasing systems processing speed [8]. In design assignment we are required
to design a simple a simple 30 user CDMA system with spreading Walsh code gain of 64 and
31-gold code. In the second part we are required to design a single-user MIMO transceiver
without forward error correction code and evaluate its performance. Multiple input Multiple
output systems also known as MIMO is where multiple antennas at both ends of the link helps
exploit other advantages other than diversity and array gains [11]. MIMO facilitate the ability to
increase the transmission of throughput through spatial multiplexing capability of MIMO
channels. Question 2 through to 6 are designs to achieve high channel capability of CDMA and
their analysis. These designs help us understand more on various CDMA design techniques.
