Abstract
We consider using DS-CDMA over channels which decorrelate in frequency. We allow the bandwidth to increase while maintaining a fixed total average power. The bandwidth over which we transmit is divided into several slices, each of which has its own spreading sequence. We show that for a large bandwidth DS-CDMA spreading is not advantageous when the channel truly decorrelates in frequency or when the channel bandwidth slices are correlated but not jointly estimated.
