What order should the DSSS spreader and mapper be in?
In a DSSS transmitter, what is the correct order of spreading and mapping (e.g. QPSK mapping)? Are there many different ways of implementing spreading? Many references suggest spreading first, many ...

Pulse-shaping filter for DSSS
In a direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) transmitter, each symbol is "spread" by a spreading sequence, $\mathbf{s}$. This increases the sample rate by a factor of $L_{s}$, where $L_{s}$ ...

Issues with Early-Late Discriminator in DS-CDMA Receiver
I am developing a receiver for a DS-CDMA signal modulated with QPSK. The I part of the signal is spread using one sequence, while the Q part is spread using a different sequence. The chip time is 16 ...

DSSS spectrum not flat
Why is the PSD of the simulated BPSK/DSSS in AWGN not flat? Here are the simulation parameters: BPSK symbols are randomly generated and are {+1,-1} Spreading factor = 128 Spreading code is a randomly ...
