On narrowband interference suppression using DFB filter in DSSS systems under impulsive channel conditions

In this paper the extension analysis of the recently proposed direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) receiver using decision feedback filter (DFB) under narrowband interference (NBI) and impulsive channel conditions is presented. The results, obtained by theoretical analysis and computer simulation in term of the output signal to interference ratio (SIR), show that the impulsive noise does not deteriorate the excellent performance of the DFB receiver in the NBI suppression. The impulsive noise influence on the receiver performance can be adequately expressed through the increase of the total noise power.<
