Noise (AWGN) Avoidance in CDMA Systems Using the Mechanism of Spread Spectrum

Abstract

In today communication systems the most probable problems are that of channel capacity, jamming and interference or noise. The channel capacity can be maximized by multiplexing the channel. While the jamming problem and for noise reduction the most important technique that we can apply is spread spectrum. That by spreading the spectrum of the original message signal, the impact of noise upon the message signal can be reduced. For that purpose, two different techniques that is DSSS(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) and FHSS (Frequency Hoping Spread Spectrum) can be applied. Since the two approaches are core ideas upon which CDMA system is based, so in this paper we have analyzed both the techniques to observe that h up to what extent they are efficacious in removing AWGN in CDMA systems communication.
