The search rate of direct sequence acquisition schemes can be significantly increased by replacing the multiply and integrate operation with a passive correlation device such as a matched filter (MF). The problems of acquisition using the matched filter have attracted considerable interest. Many results were derived assuming a single user in a fading and multipath delay mobile environment or multi-users in the additive white Gaussian noise channel. In the present paper a numerical method and computer simulation have been developed to simulate the acquisition. The acquisition performance using a matched filter with different numbers of parallel processors is investigated in the multipath delay and fading channel for a CDMA system. The results show that the acquisition performance is significantly degraded in this channel, even when large values of correlation length, which require fewer parallel processors, are used, The performance of a proposed new channel filter placed before the correlator is examined using a Monte Carlo method. Comparison or results of the performance of the correlator using the matched filter with different numbers of parallel processors, with and without the proposed channel filter, shows that the normalized mean acquisition time can be reduced by a factor of 10 when the new channel filter is used.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":158358,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 3rd International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications (ISSSTA'94)","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114255726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This new method, named \"CFO-SSMA (carrier frequency offset-spread spectrum multiple access)\", utilizes a single PN code commonly assigned to all users with different carrier frequencies. The amount of the frequency offset between carriers is determined by the information rate, which is very small as compared with the bandwidth of the spread spectrum signal. CFO-SSMA employs a receiver using a surface acoustic wave (SAW) matched filter, which has an advantage of rapid signal acquisition over the conventional receiver, but has a disadvantage of difficulty to change the PN code pattern. CFO-SSMA defeats this disadvantage, because there is no need to change the matched filer in accordance with the channel to be recovered. The concept and basic performance of CFO-SSMA is discussed in this paper. The optimum bandwidth of the receive filter as well as the BER performance of CFO-SSMA are also shown.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":158358,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 3rd International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications (ISSSTA'94)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130350232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, the basic ideas behind bearing estimation are discussed and it is shown how these may be best applied to a spread spectrum receiver array. Then, some simple algorithms are compared and it is shown that the multiple signal classification algorithm (MUSIC) provides good angular resolution for a fixed computational overhead. One major shortcoming of the MUSIC algorithm is that it fails in the presence of coherent spread spectrum multipath returns. Spatial smoothing algorithms are shown to be a solution to this problem and the behaviour of such techniques is discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":158358,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 3rd International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications (ISSSTA'94)","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116456281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these are not adapted to consumer communications without base stations or concentrated systems. Therefore, we propose an interference cancellation system considering the consumer communications. It can be realized by the estimation of unknown spread sequences of strong interfering signals, making a replica of the interfering signal by using the estimated sequence, and the subtraction of the replica from the received signal.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":158358,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 3rd International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications (ISSSTA'94)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126684654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The P(n, k) codes are particularly attractive in system employing digital signal processing because when using these codes the favorable correlation properties of typical analogue NLFM signals can be most efficiently combined with the advantages offered by digital signal processing. The significant advantages of the investigated P(n, k) codes over conventional polyphase codes are lower autocorrelation sidelobes and an increased tolerance of Doppler shifts and precompression bandwidths limitations. The primary disadvantage of the P(n, k) codes is a slight loss in range resolution. Results of extensive simulations discussed in this paper show that P(n, k) codes are favorable alternatives to conventional polyphase codes and therefore strongly increase the variety of candidate signals for high resolution wideband channel estimation, for example, encountered in pulse compression radars.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":158358,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 3rd International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications (ISSSTA'94)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131029178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The TDD base station measures the impulse response of the channel (on the uplink) and uses a matched filter to the channel. It then pre-matches the signal it wishes to transmit on the downlink since its impulse response is identical. This eliminates any channel matched filter operations in the mobile unit and so reduces its complexity, although the base station complexity is increased slightly. Results indicate that FDD techniques provide a higher cell capacity than the equivalent TDD techniques. The advantage of a reduction in mobile station complexity, by using TDD, is offset by the poor error rate and cell capacity performances found for high speed mobile operation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":158358,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 3rd International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications (ISSSTA'94)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133333342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
