Summary: 
This paper conducts performance evaluation for a code division multiple access (CDMA) system when channel bands of multiple neighboring CDMA/DSSS are overlapped in frequency domain. It is assumed that all systems adopt direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technique and are BPSK modulated by the different carrier frequencies. Automatic power control (APC) is also applied in the interfered system such that the receiver gets the same power from all users. Without loss generality, an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel is also assumed during analysis. In this paper, the analytic solution of the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is first derived in which both CDMA systems are modulated by different carrier frequencies. This analysis is good for general cases; and the result shows an excellent computational performance. In particular, the result is very close to Pursly's result, when the systems have the same code length with no carrier difference.
