Abstract

In this paper, a method is proposed to improve the performance of the delay and add direct sequence (DADS) modulation scheme. On one hand, the selection of a short pseudonoise (PN) sequence is used to improve the data rate performance. On the other hand, when high data rates are not required, the same short PN sequence is replicated to form a long PN sequence. In this case, noise reduction by averaging is used to improve the bit error rate (BER) for high spreading factors. Theoretical BER formulas are derived and verified by simulations in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and frequency selective Rayleigh channels. The proposed DADS modulation scheme is implemented using the CogWave software to allow the exchange of video, audio and text between two USRPs through a graphical user interface (GUI) developed in Qt4.
