preparation
It would be best to have attempted the Lab Sheets entitled CDMA – introduction and
CDMA - processing gain before commencing this experiment. It is concerned with
assessing co-channel interference when two channels are present.
Whilst the previous Lab Sheets dealt with single channels, the present experiment includes a
second channel at the transmitter. This is combined with the first in the transmission path,
represented by the adder, as shown in the block diagram of Figure 1 below.

experiment
The block diagram of Figure 1 is shown modelled in Figure 2.
Before plugging in the MULTIPLE SEQUENCES SOURCE module set the on-board rotary
switches to different (long) sequences (say ‘0’ for the upper sequence, and ‘1’ for the
lower). Before plugging in the CDMA DECODER module set the on-board rotary switch to
sequences ‘0’.
Two message sequences, ‘X’ and ‘Y’, are available from the message SEQUENCE
GENERATOR module.

observations
Having satisfied yourself that the message has been recovered there are many qualitative
observations which can be made (typically at the DATA LPF output). For example:
BER measurement
Alternative measurements can be made by adding instrumentation for measuring bit error
rate (BER). Refer to the Lab Sheets entitled BER instrumentation, and BER measurement-
introduction.
