Abstract:
A method of detecting FN code synchronization for a DSSS signal comprising receiving a DSSS data signal of data frames comprised of I and Q symbols, at least a portion of each data frame comprising a unique word, demodulating the data signal into I and Q chip samples, filtering the I and Q chip samples and outputting the filtered I and Q chip samples to a chip stream controller which outputs the plurality of chip streams to a correlation matrix that correlates the plurality of chip streams with the chipped unique word and outputs a correlated data stream, A plurality of FFTs is run on the correlated output data stream and a processor searches for a maximum frequency bin power of each FF'T. A PN synchronization detector searches for a maximum frequency bin power among the plurality of FFT runs and determines whether PN synchronization is present.
