Power spectra of signal formats for DS-SS CDMA wireless LANs

The paper deals with the spectral analysis of signal formats for DS-SS CDMA WLANs. The main emphasis is put on introduction of a quantitative measure which allows for comparison of different spreading codes and channel modulations from the viewpoint of a uniformity of an in-band power distribution. Such a measure is essential to compare different DS-SS CDMA systems performance in mitigating the effects of frequency selective fading.
