Abstract
The focus of this paper is to characterize the performance of a Rake receiv er tracking the L strongest multipath components and to quantify the effect s of the chip rate on spread spectrum systems operating in dense multipath frequency-selective fading environments. Analytical expressions for the sym bol error probability are derived in terms of the chip rate, multipath spre ad of the channel and an arbitrary number of combined paths.
