Recently, multi-carrier transmission schemes have been introduced into Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems to gain advantages for high data rate transmission as well as security. Due to pseudorandom code there is no chance to Inter Symbol Interference (ISI). There are different techniques to mitigate multipath fading. One of the method is to transmit identical narrowband direct-sequence (DS) waveforms in parallel over a number of sub-channels using frequency diversity. Implementation this multi-carrier modulation technique in CDMA system is known as multi-carrier CDMA (MC-CDMA). In Rayleigh fading channel, due to multi-carrier modulation, when one subcarrier goes deep fade another subcarrier may remain safe. Therefore it combats multi-path fading and signal can be received in low bit error rate.

This paper presents a detailed analysis of Multicarrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) system over Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh Fading Channel with analysisof the effects of different number of sub-carriers and multiuser scenarios and at the end a comparison with standard technique is also performed. The complete analysis is performed by simulating the mathematical model of the MC-CDMA system with various combinations of sub-carriers, number of users, SNR, path gains and path delays etc. the simulation results shows that the MC-CDMA is an effective way to overcome the multipath fading losses and spectrum utilization with relatively simple system architecture.
