In DS/SS systems it is necessary to synchronize the locally generated despreading signal with the received spreading signal to demodulate the received signal. The synch process between the two signals is usually accomplished in two steps : first acquisition then tracking. In this paper, an acquisition system aided by the neural network is proposed for the rapid and exact acquisition in DS/SS. the neural netowrk is composed o fthree-layered perpecptrons and trained by the backpropagation algorithm. The performance of the proposed system is analyzed and compared with ones of conventional systems using the sequential estimation technique under an additive while gaussian noisy channel. In all of th econsidered simulations, the proposed system outperforms conventional systems.

The performance of direct-sequence spread spectrum(DS-SS) receiver may be enhanced by using the digital whitening filter. In this paper, the hard limited feedback whitening filter that whiten the interference and noise alone is proposed to obtain the additional resistance to narrowband interference. The recursive solution for the calculation of tap weights is presented and the expression for SNR and BER is derived and compared with the conventional digital whitening filter. As the result of computer simulation it is proved that the error performance is improved considerably.

In this paper, we propose a fast code acquisition method that can reduce drastically the mean acquisition time of the direct sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) system by using and integrated search and verification (ISV) scheme. The proposed method performs simultaneously the search and verification processes at every search cell, through storing sufficiently long signal samples enough to perform the verification process form the previously received samples. We analyze and acquisition performance in the case of Gaussian channel to evaluate theacquisition perfomrance of the proposed method. From the simple numericl analysis result, we have shown that the acquisition performance of the proposed method is better than that of the conventional serial search method, and the performance improvement becomes more prominent as the channel environment becomes degraded.

AOC-SS (Advanced Orthogonal Code-Spread Spectrum) modulation [1] is a flexible scheme to obtain a multi-rate transmission but PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) increases in proportion to the number of AOCs and thus, the mapping technique is proposed to solve this problem. Moreover, by combining with space-time coding (STC), AOC-SS is capable of resistance to multi-path fading. The simulation programs have been performed to verify the validity of the suggested scheme.

We have realized the two kinds of power line communication systems by the FSK MODEM. The first approach is the DS-SS (Direct suquence-spread spectrum) technique using 8 bits pseudo noise, the other is Convolutional coding method by the new algorithm. Their characteristics are comparied with each other by experimenting their Bit Error Rates (BER) in high level of Noise. The results have showed that two systems are useful to the application of HA (Home Automation) systems.

In this paper, the performance of a hybrid DS/SFH-SS(direct-sequence/slow-frequency-hopped spread-spectrum) system with coherent BPSK modulation over Nakagami fading channel in the presence of multiple tone jamming is analyzed. Because the Nakagami m-distribution can describe not only Rayleigh fading but also more general fluctuations involving a specular component by adjusting the value of the fading index m. It is known that for m=1 corresponds to Rayleigh fading, for $1/2{\le}m{\le}1$ corresponds to the worst case fading condition, for m>1 corresponds to Rician fading, and for $m{\to}{\infty}$ corresponds to the nonfading condition. The bit error probability is derived over Nakagami model and numerical evaluations are presented for some combinations of system parameters. The results show that as m increases, the bit error probability is better. Also, at a low JSR(jamming-to-signal power ratio), a pure DS-SS system can achieve lower bit error probability than a hybrid DS/SFH-SS system. But at a high JSR, a hybrid DS/SFH-SS system is shown to be superior to a pure DS-SS system. Therefore, it is demonstrated that without increasing the total system bandwidth, the performance of a hybrid DS/SFH-SS is superior to that of a pure DS-SS system in the presence of multiple tone jamming.

This paper describes synchronization concept and algorithm of the reverse DS-SS/TDMA control channel to handle satellite terminals which are distributed through the mission area. Military satellite control channel should have ECCM capabilities and handle more than several hundreds satcom terminals simultaneously. DS-SS/TDMA control channel can satisfy these demand but it spend much synchronization time. Proposed algorithm insert the preamble which is divided with several short sub bins prior to control data and use the parallel matched filtering searcher for each sub bin. As a result of the test, proposed algorithm can acquire most of control channel packet successfully within several milliseconds in severe jamming environment.

In this paper, we proposed the DS-SS modem-based communication system for long distance wireless-transmission. The module we designed in this approach contained both convolution encoder and gold-code generator, which aimed at error correcting, T-DES encryption algorithm and spread-spectrum as well. It embodied PC-based GUI program in order to control the such command signal as data transceiver. This program also used to control the specific FPGA/MCU which is able to verify and interface to the modem. We demonstrated the communication system to verify its proper operation by using GUI program and designed hardware. A set of experiments are conducted and as a result, proposed communication system is well operated as the design specification.

The Galileo system, a global navigation satellite system(GNSS) developed by E.U., uses the direct sequence/spread spectrum(DS/SS) modulation. A DS/SS-based system performs a fine synchronization between the received and locally generated spreading signals, via attacking process. In the absence of multipath signals, using the symmetric characteristic of the correlation function, the delay lock loop with the early minus late discriminator(EL-DLL) offers the best performance in tracking. However, in the presence of multipath signals, the symmetry of the correlation function could be lost, causing a tracking bias. In this paper, we observe that the correlation values in the advanced offset range remain almost unchanged, due to the multipath signals being received later than a line-of-sight signal. Based on this observation, we propose a novel tracking scheme for a Galileo BOC(1,1) system.
