In this paper we evaluate the performance of ½ rate convolution coding with different modulation techniques such as Binary phase shift keying (BPSK), Quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM-16) for direct sequence code division multiple access(DS-CDMA) system using maximal ratio combining (MRC) and equal gain combining (EGC) diversity techniques over Rician fading channel. The performance of ½ rate convolution coding with different modulation techniques are analyzed in terms of Bit error rate (BER) and Signal to noise ratio (SNR). Based on simulation results we have concluded that we obtain better gain in SNR performance when ½ rate convolution coding is used with different modulation techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
