To take advantage of the reduced interference between vehicles, code division multiplexing using direct sequence spread spectrum signals is applied. The system, which covers the whole signal processing chain, is introduced, explained and simulated using Simulink/Matlab software. A design, capable of spreading, modulating, including non-idealities of radio frequency-blocks and synchronization, is built up and evaluated. Additionally, a channel model is simulated in the software WinProp and integrated in the Simulink simulation. In consequence, a more realistic model compared to an estimation-based Rician-or Rayleigh channel model is realized. Furthermore, different modulation schemes, binary phase shift keying, 4- and 16-quadrature amplitude modulation, are investigated. The system is rated with respect to the bit-error-rate by applying additive white Gaussian noise. The functionality is verified as the the results match with the theoretical assumptions The system is further improved by building up a Rake-Receiver structure.en77 GHzdirect spread spectrum communicationjoint sensing-communicationsrake demodulatorConference Paper10.1109/IWCMC48107.2020.9148403Other
