Code Synchronization: A Review of Principles and Techniques

  • Chapter
Code Division Multiple Access Communications

Abstract

We review the main concepts underlying the derivation of appropriate receivers for code synchronization in spread spectrum systems emphasizing a likelihood theory viewpoint. Practical structures for the separate tasks of code acquisition and tracking are discussed and categorized. A brief discussion of analysis tools and performance measures is presented, along with design considerations for threshold settings, and impact of fading. An extensive bibliography is also included.
