Recently, complex orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) codes based on polyphase orthogonal codes have been proposed to support multi-user/multi-rate data transmission services in synchronous direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems. This study investigates the low signal-envelope fluctuation property of the complex OVSF codes in terms of transmission signal trajectories. In addition, a new method is proposed to suppress the envelope fluctuation more strongly at the expense of reducing the number of spreading sequences of the codes.
