This survey guides the reader through the open literature on the principle of initial
synchronisation in single-antenna-assisted single-and multi-carrier Code Division Multiple …

Forward error correction (FEC) coding is an indispensable technique in the direct sequence
spread spectrum (DS-SS) systems for satellite communication applications. Both the FEC …

For long PN-code, rapid acquisition is difficult due to large search space. To speed up the
search process, extended replica folding acquisition search technique (XFAST), which …

This dissertation is about a specific problem and about general methods. The specific
problem is carrier-phase synchronization, which appears in the context of digital …

Satellite high-mobility communications can provide global communication services for
mobile terminals, which plays a vital role in today's world of wireless communications …

Rapidly acquiring the code phase of the spreading sequence in an ultra-wideband system is
a very difficult problem. In this paper, we present a new iterative algorithm and its hardware …

Due to the longer spreading code used for the next generation GNSS (Global Navigation
Satellite System) signals, receivers have to spend longer time or require larger amount of …

Acquisition of an incoming long pseudo-noise (PN) code signal requires a fast hypothesis
testing function for a large number of code phase hypotheses. In addition, when a transmitter …

This paper addresses the problem of initial synchronization of pseudo-noise code. A new
code acquisition technique for spread-spectrum communication systems using band-limited …

An iterative initial sequence acquisition technique is proposed for the pseudo-noise signal
derived from a pair of m-sequences used for generating the concatenated sequence, which …
