This paper analyzes a sequential estimator with flexible structure for rapid acquisition of the m-sequence signals. If the received PN chips stored in the estimator's internal registers as initial loading values include one error, this chip with error can be corrected through multiple local PN code generators to achieve high-speed acquisition performance. Hamming distance between regenerated local PN codes from the proposed system and received PN code is compared with given threshold to choose a possible correct path and to declare success of the code acquisition. Using signal flow graph, average acquisition time that depends on detection and false alarm probability is calculated. By modifying generally used matched filter structure for PN code acquisition, the proposed system provides flexible structure and rapid acquisition process.

본 논문은 지연 다이버시티를 이용한 초광대역무선통신시스템의 PN 부호 포착 성능을 분석하였다. 무선채널은 주파수 선택적인 로그노말 페이딩 채널로 모델링하였다. 포착 성능은 PN 부호의 불확실한 부분에서 여러 개의 동기 상태가 존재한다는 가정하에서 검파 확률과 평균 포착 시간의 관점에서 분석되었다. 시뮬레이션 결과로부터 지연 다이버시티를 이용한 포착 시스템이 낮은 수신기의 단가와 복잡도에도 불구하고 다이버시티 이득을 획득할 수 있다는 것이 증명되었다. 본 논문의 결과는 CDMA에 기초한 초광대역무선통신시스템의 동기단을 디자인하는데 적용될 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose an average acquisition time and hardware design of high speed PN code synchronous acquisition system using DMF(Digital Matched Filter) with new switching method in DS-SS/CDMA(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Code Division Multiple Access). In reality, the PN code synchronous acquisition system using DMF has very complicated hardware, high cost and high power consumption. The PN code synchronous acquisition system using proposed switching method DMF can overcome those disadvantages. Therefore, we can make hardware simple and obtain low power and high density by reducing the area by 1/5 against the conventional approaches of using either the matched filters or the serial correlators. The proposed system architecture is also simple and easily controllable since there is no square-term circuit after execution of digital filtering.

In this paper, pseudo noise (PN) code acquisition performance with multiple antennas in a UWB time hopping/code division multiple access system is analyzed. The closed form for the conditional probability is derived, using the Gauss-Hermite quadrature formula, when the signal with Gaussian distribution goes through the lognormal fading channel. The performance comparison of the above mentioned schemes shows that the code acquisition performance with a diversity combining technique, especially when increasing the number of antennas, is more robust than that using no diversity.
