The use of a proper code allows spreading transmitted signal and despreading received signal.
As opposed to time division multiple access (TDMA), in CDMA, all users transmit at the same time. Frequency divisions are still used, but at a much larger bandwidth.
In addition, multiple users share the same frequency carrier. Each users signal uses a unique code that appears to be noise to all except the correct receiver. Therefore, the term channel describes a combination of carrier frequency and code.
The scrambling code (SC) provides a unique identity to each UE and each BS. The OVSF code allocations provide a unique identity to each channel conveyed by a UE or BS within one cell.
The spreading factor (SF) can be 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256, corresponding to DPDCH bit rates from 960kbps down to 15kbps. Seven sets of spreading codes are specified, one set for each spreading factor. Each code is denoted by Cch,SF,n. For example, Cch,4,2 means channelization code, SF = 4, code number 2.

In the case of two channels with the same amplitude, the chip signal maps onto a QPSK constellation. The scrambling signal also maps onto a QPSK constellation.
In the case of two channels with different amplitudes, the chip signal maps onto a rectangular 4-QAM constellation. The scrambling signal still corresponds to a QPSK constellation.
HPSK is a variation of basic complex scrambling that eliminates zero-crossings for every second chip point. It accomplishes this by using a specific repeating sequence as the scrambling signal and by choosing specific orthogonal codes to spread the different channels.
The repeating Walsh rotator sequence, Is = W0 = (1,1) and Qs = W1 = (1,1), is used as the scrambling signal. Only even-numbered OVSF codes are used to spread the data from the different channels. Even numbered OVSF codes consist of pairs of identical bits. For two consecutive identical chip points, the first one is rotated by +45, and the second one by -45, which ensures that they will be 90 apart in the final constellation and the transition between them does not go through zero.
The PN(1) sequence is the same for I and Q and it does not affect the number of 90 transitions. The PN(1) spreading code can instead be directly multiplied with the I and Q components of the scrambling signal before the complex scrambling.
The decimated secondary PN sequence (P) randomizes the direction of the rotation.
QPSK EVM
Composite EVM Symbol EVM Rho Code domain power
A regular QPSK EVM measurement can be used to evaluate the modulation quality of the transmitter for a single DPDCH, a single DPDCH, or a signal with both at the same amplitude level. More complex signals cannot be analyzed with this measurement. QPSK EVM compares the measured chip signal at the RF with an ideal QPSK reference.
The composite EVM is useful throughout the development, performance verification, and manufacturing phases of the UE life cycle. It in particular allows the: evaluation of the quality of the transmitter for a multi-channel signal. detection of spreading or scrambling errors. detection certain problems between the baseband and RF sections. analysis of errors that cause high interference in the signal.
By descrambling and despreading the signal the constellation and EVM for a specific code channel at the symbol level, even in the presence of multiple codes, can be analyzed.
Il valore di rho tanto pi elevato quanto maggiore il grado di somiglianza tra il segnale trasmesso e quello ideale. Poich la potenza non correlata si manifesta come interferenza, bassi valori di rho compromettono la capacit di una cella nei sistemi radiomobili.
La potenza associata ai vari canali pu essere valutata solo dopo la loro decodifica.
