Closed-Form Analytical Results for the Rejection of Narrow-Band Interference in PN Spread-Spectrum Systems - Part II: Linear Interpolation Filters

The performance of PN spread-spectrum communication systems in the presence of narrow-band interference is studied when linear interpolation filters are employed for the estimation and subsequent suppression of the interference. Closed-form analytical expressions for the system's performance are established for a broad class of interference processes. The advantages of linear interpolation filters over predictive filters with identical number of taps are examined analytically and some unexpected results are obtained. The analytical results are illustrated by examples.
