“…The bit-error-ratio (BER) performance of the family of DS-CDMA systems using quaternary spreading and QPSK modulation has been investigated using a variety of techniques, including precise analysis [6], [7], approximations [6], [8], [9], bounding techniques [9], or simulations [5], [8]. The achievable BER performance over both additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) [5], [7]- [9] and Rayleigh [6] both deterministic quaternary spreading sequences [5]- [7], [9] and random quaternary spreading sequences [8] was also studied.…”
