This paper analyzes the signal acquisition performance of the legacy GNSS spreading codes and a polyphase code. The code length and chip rate of a polyphase code are assumed to be same as those of the GPS L1 C/A and Galileo E1C codes. The autocorrelation and cross correlation characteristics are analyzed. In addition, a way to calculate a more accurate probability of false alarm for a code with sidelobe non-zero auto-correlation function is proposed. Finally, we estimate the probability of detection and the mean acquisition time for a given signal strength and the probability of false alarm.

Alternative binary offset carrier (AltBOC) signals can be approximated by four synchronized direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) signals, each pair of which is a quadrature phase shift keyed (QPSK) signal at a different frequency. Therefore, depending on the strength of an incoming AltBOC signal, an acquisition technique can reduce the mean acquisition time (MAT) by searching the four DSSS signals asynchronously; the search for each of the four DSSS signals can start at one of the evenly separated hypotheses on the two-dimensional hypothesis space. And detection sensitivity can be improved by multiple levels when different numbers of search results for the same hypothesis are combined. In this paper, we propose a fast AltBOC acquisition technique that has an asynchronous search strategy and efficiently utilizes the output of the four search results to increase the sensitivity level when sensitivity improvement is needed. We provide a complete theoretical analysis and demonstrate with numerous Monte Carlo simulations that the MAT of the proposed technique is much smaller than conventional AltBOC acquisition techniques.

안테나 배열을 이용하는 직접 대역 확산 시스템에서 포착 가능한 SNR의 범위를 크게 낮출 수 있는 안테나 배열을 사용한 직렬 포착 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 포착 방식에서의 SNR 향상을 위하여, 안테나 요소마다 동일한 PN 위상을 갖도록 조정된 비동기 I-Q 정합 여파기들에서의 독립된 판정 변수들의 합을 초기 포착을 위한 판정 변수로 사용한다. 제안된 방식의 성능 분석을 위하여 가우시안 전송로와 Rayleigh 페이딩 전송로에서 검출확률과 오인확률이 유도되며, 이를 이용하여 평균 포착시간이 분석된다. 수치적 분석 결과를 통하여, 안테나 개수가 늘어남에 따라 제안된 방식의 포착 성능이 계속적으로 향상됨을 확인할 수 있다.

It is important to know phase offsets of PN(Pseudo Noise) sequences in spread spectrum communications since the acquisition is equivalent to making a phase offset between a receiving PN sequence and a PN sequence of local PN generator be identical. In this paper, a phase offset enumeration method for PN sequences with error detection, and its application to the synchronization are proposed. The phase offset enumeration for an n-tuple PN sequence and its error detection are performed when one period of the sequence is received. Once the phase offset of the receiving sequence is calculated, we can easily accomplish the synchronization by initializing shift registers of a local PN generator according to the phase offset value. The mean acquisition time performance of the proposed scheme was derived analytically. Since this synchronization scheme can be realized by using simple circuit and acquires very rapid acquisition in high SNR but shows performance degradation in low SNR, it can be especially useful in indoor and office environments.

This paper investigates PN code acquistion algorithm and demodulation performance of the RAKE receiver in the DS/CDMA(direct sequence code division multiple access) sysytems under a multipath fading channel with multiusers. To speed up the acquisition process, PN matched filter is applied and postdetection integration technique comable withthe dynamic threshold set method is proposed. the Maximum-Likelihood algorithmin serial fashion is able to find PN code delay estimates for the RAKE branches using sliding window in a multipath fading channel. The correct acquistion probability and mean acquistion time are used as a performance measure of the system using the Monte Carlo method. The performance of the RAKEreceiver, afte the code acquisition is achieved is the CDMA systems, is also investigated for three major combining techniques.

Objective: To determine the optimal scan timing for contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography and to evaluate a new timing method based on the arteriovenous circulation time. Materials and Methods: Eighty-nine contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiographic examinations were performed mainly in the extremities. A 1.5T scanner with a 3-D turbo-FLASH sequence was used, and during each study, two consecutive arterial phases and one venous phase were acquired. Scan delay time was calculated from the time-intensity curve by the traditional (n = 48) and/or the new (n = 41) method. This latter was based on arteriovenous circulation time rather than peak arterial enhancement time, as used in the traditional method. The numbers of first-phase images showing a properly enhanced arterial phase were compared between the two methods. Results: Mean scan delay time was 5.4 sec longer with the new method than with the traditional. Properly enhanced first-phase images were found in 65% of cases (31/48) using the traditional timing method, and 95% (39/41) using the new method. When cases in which there was mismatch between the target vessel and the time-intensity curve acquisition site are excluded, erroneous acquisition occurred in seven cases with the traditional method, but in none with the new method. Conclusion: The calculation of scan delay time on the basis of arteriovenous circulation time provides better timing for arterial phase acquisition than the traditional method.

In this paper, in order to obtain statistical informations on lightning electromagnetic waveforms, electric field waveforms produced by lightning return strokes were measured and analyzed. The electric field measuring system consists of hemisphere antenna 30[cm] in diameter, integrator and data acquisition. system. The frequency bandwidth of the measuring system is 200[Hz] to 1.56[MHz], and the sensitivity is 0.96[mV/V/m]. The mean value of front time of electric field waveforms produced by positive lightning return strokes is 5.87[${\mu}s$], and that of negative is 4.12[${\mu}s$]. The mean values of zero-crossing time for positive or negative electric field waveforms are 35.00 and 26.61[${\mu}s$], respectively. The mean value of percentage dip-depth for positive electric field waveforms is 33.68[%], and that for negative is 28.36[%].

기지국간 비동기방식을 사용하는 CDMA 이동통신 방식에서는 handoff시 초기동기 획득시간이 빠른 초기동기 획득방식이 요구되므로 정합필터를 사용하는 초기동기획득 방식이 고려될 수 있다. Rayleigh fading 채널에서 non coherent QPSK/DS-SS방식으로 신호를 수신하는 model에서 정합필터방식으로 초기동기획득을 위해 소요되는 평균 초기동기 획득시간은 직렬상관방식에 비해 정합필터의 길이에 비례하여 단축됨을 분석하였다. 그러나, 종래의 정합필터 방식이 초기동기획득시간은 단축되지만 HW복잡도로 인한 구현상의 단점을 보완하기위해 본 논문에서는 기억소자를 이용한 HW 재사용에 의해 상관 연산을 반복해서 할 수 있는 설계방안을 제시하므로써 기존 정합필터의 HW복잡도를 정합필터 분할 길이 만큼 줄일 수 있도록 하였고, Altera MAXPlus Ⅱ FPGA로 simulation하므로써 기능을 입증하였다.
