Synchronization improvements using traceability in spread spectrum signal design

Synchronization improvements using traceability information found in the narrowband auto-ambiguity function (NB AAF) are demonstrated. This new auto-ambiguity function property, traceability, is the key to defining a signal design approach for solving the synchronization problems in spread spectrum system such as communication systems, radar networks, and sonar systems. This work defines the property and introduces a new tracing synchronization scheme that significantly reduces initial synchronization time and the number of false synchronization events.
