DS-CDMA is widely used in 3G communication systems, GPS, WLAN and some other fields that require robust resistance against narrow band interference, multi-path time spread or interception. One most challenging and important problem in DS-CDMA is code synchronization, which includes code acquisition and code track. When SNR of the received signal is low, the synchronization becomes not very reliable, which means the system will miss the correct phase of the received signal at a high probability. And therefore, more synchronization iteration is needed. If the PN code is very long, more iteration will become unaffordable because it elongates the synchronization time. In this paper, a non-coherent addition method is proposed to increase synchronization reliability. Another problem that hasn't been discussed in previous literature is chip doppler. It will make the synchronization lose locked abnormally. In the paper, a PLL aid resample method is also proposed to solve this problem. LabVIEW simulation shows that above two methods are very effective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
