This dissertation investigates the use of antenna arrays at base stations combined with advanced signal processing for Code‑Division Multiple Access (CDMA) wireless networks. It develops a space‑time channel model for spread‑spectrum CDMA, proposes a novel Beamformer‑RAKE receiver structure that exploits both spatial and temporal dimensions to enhance performance, and derives algorithms for adaptive beamforming and channel estimation under realistic fading and multipath conditions. The work analyzes system performance (e.g., bit‑error rate, power control behavior) under various propagation environments and shows how adaptive antenna arrays can significantly improve capacity, coverage, and spectral efficiency in CDMA networks.
