Tracking of Frequency-Hopped Spread-Spectrum Signals in Adverse Environments
Constant A. J. Putman, Stephen S. Rappaport, Donald L. Schilling · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 1983
Tracking requirements for a frequency-hopped spreadspectrum system with a view to application in mobile radio are investigated. Models characterizing Rician fading and multiple access or jamming environments are used to formulate signal detection probabilities. These determine the mean time to loss of lock. Optimized tracking in these environments is then considered.
