Simulation of DS-CDMA on the LOS multipath 60 GHz channel and performance with RAKE receiver

In this paper we investigate observed data of 60 Ghz channel impulse responses collected in IEMN. We first investigate the wide sense stationary and uncorrelated scatterers properties of the channel. We then develop a tapped delay line model and MC simulate a DS-CDMA transmission with a RAKE receiver. Results show the good performances of such a scheme and make DS-CDMA a good solution for high rate multi-media transmission at 60 GHz. Besides, the simulation rapidity allows to use this model for channel coding simulation.
