Multiuser detectors in CDMA systems are proposed to combat multi-access
interference. We present system design analysis of an RSFQ multiuser detector
considering the realistic parameters of a long-code asynchronous CDMA
system with frequency-selective fading paths, 100 voice equivalent channels
per sector and 10 resolvable multipath components. We compared different
architectures via both theoretical analysis and numerical simulations,
optimizing bit error rate performance and targeting a double increase of the
uplink capacity. The advantages and constraints of block-wise or simple
Gauss-Seidel algorithm for practical implementation were examined in order to
minimize the hardware requirements. The influence of quantization process on
the system performance was studied.
