Synchronization Performance Comparison between Adaptive Filter and Correlator
Takki Yu, Myeon-gyun Cho, Daesik Hong · 2008
In this paper, we compare the timing synchronization performance of the adaptive filter to that of the correlator in direct sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) systems. The test variables used in the code synchronization are statistically analyzed for both schemes, and then the obtained results are used in calculating the detection and false alarm probabilities. Based on the derived probabilities, the synchronization performance is compared and the simulation is followed. Analysis and simulation results show that the correlator outperforms the adaptive filter under most acquisition environments.
