Spread spectrum systems offer high immunity to interference and frequency selective fading. However, this advantage is dependent on accuate receiver synchronization. The code acquisition scheme in the direct-sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) system usually employs a passive correlator,the matched filter, as the first dwell stage of the detector.And then, it is followed by the integration andthe majority-logic verfication processes. The search strategy analyzed in this thesis is that of a straight serial search, whereby the uncertainy region is assumed equal to the code length. The verification mode is to effectively eliminate catastrophic false alarms, therefore increasing the statistical reliability.
The DS/SS code acquisition system is an
immediate-rejection/two-dwell hybrid system. The spread spectrum code acquisition using the matched filter in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise and data modulation is investigated. From the simulation results, we can obtain explicit relationship between the system performance and the design parameters, such as the received SNR (signal to noise ratio), the threshold value, and the mean acquisition time.
In addition to the computer simulation using the Matlab, the code acquisition algorithm is implemented on the DSP module (TI TMS320C44 with A/D,D/A interface). Real-time ASCII data transmission through the wire between two PCs is realized by C-language programing. For the purpose of reducing the calculation time of DSP, we apply only the first-dwell stage of the detector.
