Display of code power levels and relationships of multiple spreading factor orthogonal codes in a CDMA signal

摘要

A display of code power levels and relationships of multiple spreading factor orthogonal codes in a code division multiple access (CDMA) signal has a first code graph of code domain power (CDP) for all the codes at the largest code spreading factor that includes all codes at all spreading factors plotted in a linear code indexing order and a second graph of CDP where the codes are plotted in bit-reversed order to group together the sub-codes of each code of lower spreading factor. Markers on each graph are tied together such that movement of one marker on one graph to a particular code value causes the other marker on the other graph to move to the corresponding code value. The sub-codes related to a particular code bar in the graphs indicated by the markers may be differentiated by using grey scale or color variations. A base code power level indicator, which may be in the form of a horizontal bar on the bit-reversed order graph spanning the group of sub-codes corresponding to a particular spreading factor, provides a power indication for the base code.
