Abstract
A four-element pilot symbol-assisted coherent adaptive antenna array diversity receiver for 4.096 Mchip/s wideband direct sequence code division multiple access mobile radio is implemented and its performance in a multipath fading environment is evaluated by a laboratory experiment using hardware fading simulators. The receiver comprises an adaptive antenna array using the normalised least mean square algorithm and Rake combiner. It is demonstrated that, for the three-user case, the required average signal-to-interference ratio for obtaining average BER of 10-3 can be reduced by ∼ 8dB compared to four-branch antenna diversity.
