Design and Implementation Issues for a Wideband, Indoor,

DS-CDMA System Providing Multimedia Access

This paper considers design and implementation issues for an indoor wire-less system providing multimedia access to portable terminals. Power consumption is a key metric in this design, because of portability constraints. An integrated CMOS receiver implementation is pre-sented which achieves total power con-sumption of less than 150 mW for a 1 Mbps data rate. An improved second gen-eration system design is also considered.
