Measurements have been performed using a wideband radio channel sounder with 54 MHz 3 dB bandwidth. Over 20000 complex impulse responses have been recorded and analysed with delay resolution of 20 ns and dynamic range of 20 dB. Measurements have been performed with omnidirectional and directive antennas with both vertical and horizontal polarizations. Although directive antennas inherently reduce the average RMS delay spread values, it was found that the largest instantaneous RMS delay spread values were detected using directive antennas. Considerable differences in propagation characteristics of the vertical and horizontal polarization were measured in NLOS conditions. These differences were interpreted to result from the different reflection coefficients of the building structures for the two polarisations. Large scale pathless modeling was done by applying analogy to oversized waveguide structures.","PeriodicalId":116377,"journal":{"name":"1988 IEEE 5th International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications - Proceedings.

Since communication systems, suitable for high-speed transmission over electrical power lines, are not available yet, considerable efforts are currently being spent on designing such systems. Due to the special properties of power distribution grids as communication channels, profound investigations of the channel properties must have been done before a successful development of reliable and efficient systems is possible. At the University of Karlsruhe extensive measurements of typical channel properties are currently under way. Some of the results are presented in this work, giving a first impression of the most important channel properties. However, the main goal of this paper is to investigate and describe suitable strategies for advanced multiple access systems.","PeriodicalId":116377,"journal":{"name":"1988 IEEE 5th International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications - Proceedings.

The algorithm proposed may be used for effective detection of small airborne targets whose trajectories are straight radial lines. The expressions for detection probability evaluation are derived for a target model according to the Swerling case II. The expressions obtained are applied to the typical surveillance radar. The results show that the algorithm proposed allows one sufficiently to reduce the losses in the signal-to noise ratio (SNR) in comparison to the CA CFAR detector with non-coherent integration when the PJ intensity is very strong. It is shown that the algorithm proposed is very effective even if the probability of PJ appearance is very high.","PeriodicalId":116377,"journal":{"name":"1988 IEEE 5th International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications - Proceedings.

Suehiro (1993, 1994) proposed a 4-phase signal design for approximately synchronized CDMA systems without co-channel interference. In the proposed 4-phase signal design, each user is assigned a carrier frequency, some 4-phase sequence of finite length with pseudo-periodic property and comb-shaped spectrum, and a matched filter for the central large part of the assigned sequence. When the assigned sequence of the comb-shaped spectrum is modulated by the carrier the obtained signal has a comb-shaped spread spectrum. The carriers are assigned to each user so that any two of the users have an orthogonal comb-spectrum to each other. Because each user has a filter which is matched to the central part of the assigned sequence, no user receives co-channel interference near the main detection pulse under the condition of approximate synchronization. The Doppler effect and the multipath properties are simulated. When the carrier frequencies are about 2000 MHz, the signals works almost without co-channel interference under the Doppler shift at 1000 km/h. This result of simulation shows the usefulness of the 4-phase signal design without co-channel interference for an approximately synchronized uplink in cellular CDMA systems.","PeriodicalId":116377,"journal":{"name":"1988 IEEE 5th International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications - Proceedings.

The technique discussed in this paper uses a set of partial correlators and a zero-padded FFT to reduce the search region for code acquisition whilst maintaining good frequency resolution for Doppler offset.
