Direct sequence spread spectrum matched filter acquisition in frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels
Brima Ibrahim, A.H. Aghvami · IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications · 1994
This paper presents the performance of a matched filter acquisition scheme in nonselective and frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels. This acquisition scheme employs a reference filter to estimate the variance of the interference at the output of the detecting matched filter. Expressions for probability of detection and probability of false alarm are derived and the mean acquisition time is evaluated for various channel and system parameters. The results presented show the relationship between channel and system parameters and the system performance.>
