Abstract

We propose a parallel acquisition scheme using antenna arrays for initial acquisition of direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DS-SS) signals. The proposed parallel scheme can lower substantially the range of detectable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as compared to the conventional parallel scheme with a single antenna. The proposed scheme uses the sum of the independent decision samples from antenna arrays corresponding to an identical subsequence of the pseudonoise (PN) code as a decision variable. We derive the probabilities of detection, missing, and false alarm under an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and a flat Rayleigh fading channel. Using these, we get the mean acquisition time of the proposed scheme. From numerical results, we see that the acquisition performance becomes improved continually as the number of antennas increases.

안테나 배열을 사용하는 직접 대역 확산 시스템에서 초기 동기 포착을 위하여 안테나 배열을 사용하는 병렬 포착 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 병렬 방식은 단일 안테나를 사용하는 기존의 병렬 방식에 비하여 포착이 가능한 SNR의 범위를 크게 낮출 수 있다. 이를 위하여, 동일한 PN (pseudo-noise) 위상에 해당하는 안테나 배열로부터의 독립된 판정 변수들을 합하여 새로운 판정 변수로 사용한다. 성능분석을 위하여 부가성 백색 가우시안 잡음과 Rayleigh 페이딩 채널하에서 검출확률, 손실확룔, 오인확룔이 유도되며, 이러한 값들을 이용하여 제안된 방식의 평균 포착 성능을 평가한다. 수치적인 분석 결과를 통하여, 제안된 시스템의 성능은 안테나의 개수가 증가함에 따라 지속적으로 향상된다는 사실을 확인할 수 있다.
