In this letter, a spectral sidelobe-decaying property of the Walsh-Hadamard code employed in multicarrier codedivision multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems is exploited. It is shown that the sidelobe-decaying characteristic of the MC-CDMA signal can be properly described by the code index of the underlined Walsh-Hadamard codeword.Index Terms-Multicarrier code-division multiple access, spectral sidelobe, Walsh-Hadamard code, orthogonal frequencydivision multiplexing.
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.
