• Jim Cavers’ presentation at the workshop on DSP methods in amplifier linearization at the 2004 IEEE International Microwave Symposium, Forth Worth, Texas: “Wideband Linearization: Feedforward Plus DSP.” (ppt).

• Ali Keyvani’s fading channel simulator in object-oriented Matlab. Implements the modified Jakes algorithm and the FFT filtered noise algorithm, both from Mobile Channel Characteristics. Download Ali’s Matlab code here and his BASc thesis here.

• Lisa Welburn’s very clever way to invert characteristic functions with mixed simple and multiple poles. No numerical sensitivity in the residues, no numerical integration. Guaranteed to save you time in your analysis.
• L.R. Welburn, J.K. Cavers and K.W. Sowerby, “Accurate Error Rate Calculations Through the Inversion of Mixed Characteristic Functions,” IEEE Trans. Commun., vol. 51, no. 5, pp. 719-721, May 2003. (pdf).
• Matlab code for the method. Enjoy. (m-file).

• Jim Cavers’ plenary address to the IEEE International Symposium on Advances in Wireless Communications, Victoria, Canada, September, 2002. “A Computational Paradigm for Space-Time Multiuser Detection,” by L. Welburn, J. Cavers and K. Sowerby. (pdf)

• Presentation by Jim Cavers to Third Australian Communications Theory Workshop, Canberra, 4-5 February 2002

“Multiuser Detection in a Multicell Environment” (pdf).

• Steve Grant’s long and winding derivation of the eigenvalues in the papers
• S.J. Grant and J.K. Cavers, “Further Analytical Results on the Joint Detection of Cochannel Signals Using Diversity Arrays”, IEEE Trans. Commun.,vol. 48, no. 11, pp. 1788-1792, November 2000.
• S.J. Grant and J.K. Cavers, “A Method for Increasing Downlink Capacity by Coded Multiuser Transmission With a Base Station Diversity Array,” IEEE Globecom, San Antonio, November, 2001.

Many interesting tricks in it, but omitted from the papers because of length (pdf).
