Performance of optimum and suboptimum combining at the antenna array of a W-CDMA system.

The performance of an array of antennas combined with a RAKE receiver at the base station of a wideband code division multiple access system with quaternary phase shift keying modulation is investigated for single-user reception. This receiver structure is also known as a multidimensional RAKE recei...
