1) The document analyzes the performance of a DS-CDMA system using Rayleigh and Nakagami-M fading channels.
2) It studies expressions for signal-to-noise plus interference ratio with and without receive diversity under Nakagami-m fading.
3) The analysis is extended to a Rake receiver with maximal ratio combining technique and multiple receive antennas to determine the improvement in bit error rate and receiver sensitivity due to diversity.
