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.

In this paper, An Ultra Fast Acquisition Algorithm of low transmission rate ultra-wideband(UWB) systems for car positioning and traffic light controling is proposed. Since the acquisition algorithms for CDMA system are not fast enough to access the low transmission rate UWB systems, the new ultra fast acquisition scheme which can be implemented with low cost and simplified circuit is required. The proposed algorithm adopted the Recurrent Sequential Estimation scheme and trinomial M-sequence. Therefore, The proposed scheme can reduce the average acquisition time in $1\~3{\mu}sec$ with simple circuit, even for the UWB systems which use long pseudo-noise(PN) sequence and transmit low power below the FCC EIRP emission limits. The simulation results for the average acquisition time of the proposed scheme are compared with the ones of the existing acquisition schemes.

This paper proposes a hybrid pseudo-noise (PN) code acquisition scheme for Multicarrier Direct Sequence - Code Division Multiple Access (MC DS-CDMA) mobile communication systems on the code acquisition performance for Nakagami-m fading channel. The hybrid acquisition scheme combines parallel search with serial search to cover the whole uncertainty region of the input code phase. It has a much simpler acquisition hardware structure than the total parallel acquisition and can achieve the mean acquisition time (MAT) slightly inferior to that of the total parallel acquisition. The closed-form expressions of the detection and false-alarm probabilities are derived.

In this paper, we propose to use nonparametric detector for the PN code acquisition in DS/CDMA systems. Because the detector is nonparametric, we can decide the threshold of the detector without first haying to estimate the valiance of time-varying interference. We compare the proposed detector with the conventional detector by showing both analytic and simulation results. From these results, we can observe that the DS/CDMA system with the proposed detector have better performance than that with the conventional detector when the exact estimation of the interference variance is not possible.

In this paper, we propose optimal and suboptimal serial code acquisition schemes for chip-asynchronous direct-sequence spread-spectrum systems. The conventional serial code acquisition scheme is to compare each value of correlator outputs with a threshold individually. However, such a scheme is optimum only under the chip-synchronous assumption which is actually very difficult to be held prior to acquisition at the receiver because the signal-to-noise ratios before despreading are very low. In this paper, an optimal serial code acquisition scheme is derived based on the maximum-likelihood criterion under the more realistic and general chip-asynchronous environments. A suboptimal scheme, which is simpler but yields comparable performance to the optimal one, is also derived based on the criterion of local detection power Numerical results show that, under the chip-asynchronous environments, both the optimal and suboptimal serial code acquisition schemes outperform the conventional serial code acquisition scheme.

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.

This paper shows that the Kronecker sequence, the rapid acquisition spreading code, can be used in packet wireless data communication systems. The general properties of the Kronecker sequence such as construction and correlation characteristics are described, and it is shown that the Kronecker sequence can use a partial-period correlation for a faster acquisition. Based on above Properties, it can be expected that the Kronecker sequence can be used in packet communication systems because the probability of false alarm for the Kronecker sequence is lower and flatter(that is, less sensitive to Ec/No variations) than that for the PN sequence under the assumption that both sequences have the same acquisition time.

In this paper, the performance about the CDMA inital synchronization under the Rician fading channel, which is actively studied as a CAI for IMT2000(FPLMTS) is analyzed. Through the performance analysis with the double dwell serial search code acquisition, the minimum mean initial synchronization acquisition time vs signal detection threshold value and first dwell duration time respectively with parameters of false alarm probability, detection probability and test PN chips is presented and the results show the mean initial synchronization acquisition time is increased with lower slope than Rayleigh fading as the threshold value of the initial synchronization acquisition decision is increased.
