An Experimental Approach to CDMA and Interference Mitigation
Description
The
key of a successful approach to the complex issue of designing
wireless terminals for present and future communication systems
(usually addressed to as '3rd Generation and beyond') lies in a
single 'magic' word: multidisciplinarity. This was actually the
philosophy which inspired and drove a fruitful teamwork performed at
the University of Pisa (Italy) under the auspices of the European
Space Agency (ESA) with the goal of developing a digital receiver for
CDMA mobile communications.
The most challenging issue of
the project was the implementation into a single ASIC device of an
advanced detector for multi-user CDMA signals featuring interference
mitigation capability. The whole design process, starting from system
specifications down to final hardware testing, required quite a
demanding and synergic effort, involving telecom engineers on one
side and electronic designers on the other. The development and the
achievements of the project gave the authors the cue for writing this
book whose contents represents the lesson learnt from such an
interdisciplinary research activity.
