This paper proposes a fast acquisition method using INS velocity and multiple correlators for high speed vehicles. In order to reduce acquisition time in GPS receiver, the method utilizes inertial velocity information and multiple correlators. Search range of the Doppler frequency is reduced by using INS velocity and the number of cells at one search can be increased by using multiple correlators. By using both multiple correlators and the INS velocity in the acquisition, search space can be greatly reduced. Experimental results show that the method gives faster signal acquisition performance than the conventional method.

The Multi-Code CDMA systems that are proposed as an effective transmission methodology in the IMT-2000 systems allow higher rate services under the IS-95 CDMA infrastructure. The Multi-Code CDMA systems convert the higher rate data into the lower rate by serial to parallel operation and spread the converted data streams by the multiple walsh codes, and its mobile receiver needs multiple walsh generators and data correlators to demodulate simultaneously multiple walsh code channels. Therefore, the number of data correlators is increased as the number of traffic channels increases. In this paper, we proposed the new structure of the data correlators using walsh overlay coding, the shared accumulator, and FWHT(Fast Walsh Hadamard Transform) algorithm for reducing the bottle-neck effect resulting the increase of the number of data correlators.

Since the muiltipath signal arrives at the GPS receiver later than the line-of-sight signal, the multipath signal makes the shape of the correlation function asymmetric. This paper proposes a multipath mitigation method through asymmetry estimation of the correlation function, in which multiple correlators are utilized. The asymmetry is estimated from correlation values of correlators which have different chip spacings. Based on the estimated asymmetry, the correlation function is modified in order to get a better code tracking performance. Even through the proposed method uses multiple correlators including the narrow correlator, the acquisition performance is not degraded since the number of search cell of the narrow correlator part can be reduced in the algorithm of the proposed method. The simulation results show that the proposed method gives better performance than the generic correlator in multipath environment.

In a conventional sonar system, which uses LFM signal for detecting targets with varying speed, the results of multiple LFM Doppler correlators are aligned and the maximum alined result are selected as a test cell for detecting targets. As the number of the LFM Doppler correlators are increased for accurate target detection, as the required computational complexity and the memory are also increased. This fact makes it difficult to implement the accurate LFM target detector. In this paper, we propose a new fast target detection which is robust for the variation of target speed. Because the proposed method uses the summation of alined results of large numbers of LFM Doppler correlators, the proposed method increase SNR and provide robust SNR for the variation of target speed. And the proposed method can provide very fast target detection by implementing the process, the summation of alined results of large numbers of LFM Doppler correlators, as one summation filter.

This paper considers the evaluation of the ecquistion performance for an accesschannel preamble based on a random access procedure of direct sequence code division multiple access(DS/CDMA) reverse link. The parallel acquistion technique that employs the single-well detection scheme and the multiple-dwell(double-dwell) detection scheme is mentioned. The acquisition performance for two detection schemes is compared in therms of the acquisition probability and the acquisition time. The parallel acquisition is done by a bank of N parallel I/Q noncoherent correlators. Expressions on the detection, false alarm, and miss probabilities of the single-dwell and multiple-dwell(double-well) detection schemes are derived for multiple H$_{1}$ cells and multipath Rayleight fading channel. comparing the single-dwell detection scheme with the multiple-dwell(double-dwell) detection scheme in the case of employing the parallel acquisition technique in the reverse link,the numerical results show that the single-dwell detection scheme deomonstrates a better performance.

In this paper, a transmitter-based multipath processing and inter-channel interference (ICI) cancellation scheme for a ultra-wideband (UWB) spatial multiplexing (SM) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system is presented. It consists of taps delayed lines and zero-forcing (ZF) filters in the transmitter and correlators in the receiver. For a UWB SM MIMO system with N transmit antennas, M receive antennas, and Q resolvable multipath components, the BER performance of a linear transmit ZF scheme is analyzed in a log-normal fading channel and also compared with that of a receiver-based ICI rejection approach. It is found that when M ${\leq}$ N, the transmit ZF processing approach outperforms the ZF receiver while making the mobile units low-cost and low-power.

In this paper, we propose a new architecture of the PN code acquistion system which has some shared blocks in order to reduce the hardware complexity. The proposed system has an energy calculation block which is shared by two active correlators. Our system is designed suitable for IS-95 based CDMA PCS. The new architecture was designed and simulated using VHDL. Also, We implemented it with Altera FPGA, and verified our system. The gate count is about 7,500. Our proposed architecture is also useful for multi-carrier system which uses the multiple searcher.

An adaptive ranging technique for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access(OFDMA) uplink transmission is proposed for timing synchronization of multiple mobile stations located different distances from a base station. By combining the Timing Phase Compensated Frequency Domain Cross-correlation(TPCFDC) and Frequency Domain Differential Cross-correlation(FDDC), the proposed scheme reduces the number of correlators used in ordinary TPCFDC. Repeated initial ranging attempt with the FDDC in the proposed scheme greatly reduces the hardware implementation complexity. Simulation results for ranging success probability and average ranging attempts count show that the proposed algorithm performs similarly with the ordinary TPCFDC even with the 10 times reduced complexity.

In this paper, we propose an average acquisition time and hardware design of high speed PN code synchronous acquisition system using DMF(Digital Matched Filter) with new switching method in DS-SS/CDMA(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Code Division Multiple Access). In reality, the PN code synchronous acquisition system using DMF has very complicated hardware, high cost and high power consumption. The PN code synchronous acquisition system using proposed switching method DMF can overcome those disadvantages. Therefore, we can make hardware simple and obtain low power and high density by reducing the area by 1/5 against the conventional approaches of using either the matched filters or the serial correlators. The proposed system architecture is also simple and easily controllable since there is no square-term circuit after execution of digital filtering.

This paper considers the evaluation of the hybrid acquistion perdformance for the pilot signal in the direct sequence code division multiple access(DS/CDMA) forward link. the hybrid acquisition is introduced by the combination of two schemes, the parallel and serial acquisions. The mean acquisition time of the proposed scheme is derived to consider both the best case(the correct code-phase offsets are included i one subset) and the worst case(the correct code-phase offsets exist at the boundary of two subsets), which are cause by the distribution of the correct code-phase offsets in the subset. Expressions for the detection, false alarm, and miss probabilities are derived for the case of multiple correct code-phase offsets and multipath Rayleigh fading channel. Numerical results present the hybrid acquistion performance with repect to design parameters such as postdetectio integration length in the search and verification modes, subset size, and number of I/Q noncoherent correlators, and compare the hybrid acquistion with the parallel acquistion in terms of the minimum acquistion time under the same hardware complexity.
