Performance of self-encoded spread spectrum under pulsed-noise jamming
Poomathi Duraisamy, Lim Nguyen · 2010
In this paper, we study the performance of self-encoded spread spectrum (SESS) system under pulsed noise jamming and show that iterative detection can improve the bit-error rate (BER) performance significantly. We first verify that the jamming performance of SESS with correlation detection is similar to conventional Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) system We then show that the performance improves by approximately 7dB when the correlation detection is combined with the iterative detection. The results demonstrate that iterative detection has the potential to completely mitigate the effect of jamming on the BER performance of SESS under pulsed-noise jamming.
