A Narrowband Interference Rejection Technique for DS-CDMA System

Due to congestion in wireless frequency use, it is difficult to assign an independent frequency bandwidth to broadband wireless communication systems based on the DS-CDMA (Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access) system. Therefore, operation of the DS-CDMA system on the existing narrowband wireless system is contemplated. However, the interference of the transmitted power of the existing narrowband wireless system on the DS-CDMA system has not been studied. There is a possibility that significant narrowband interference on the DS-CDMA system may occur. In this paper, a narrowband interference rejection system in DS-CDMA is proposed. By making use of prior information on the carrier frequency of the narrowband interference, a narrowband interference rejection process with little computational overhead is realized. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
