Hidden preamble detector for acquisition of frequency hopping multiple-access communication system
Pou‐Tou Sun, Chih‐Yuan Chu · IEE Proceedings - Communications · 1997
The problem of acquisition of frequency hopping multiple-access communication systems is addressed. The receiver uses the hidden preamble detector to accomplish the acquisition process. An upper bound on mean acquisition time is provided and the results are compared with an active correlator and a matched filter. The results show that the hidden preamble detector has a low-complexity detection scheme and an acquisition speed that is nearly as fast as the matched filter.
