In this paper, performance evaluation for the access channel in third generation CDMA 2000 mobile radio systems is presented. Probability of detection, probability of false alarm, and mean acquisition time are presented in a typical frequency selective Rayleigh fading mobile radio channel. The results provide a general guidelines foe selection of the acquisition circuit parameters at the base station receiver along with access channel parameters. Specifically, it is shown that to minimize the access time for the CDMA system, the access probe preamble length should be selected depending on the number of parallel correlators available at base station receiver.
