Spread Spectrum, Acquisition and Tracking.

This report discusses the following subjects A New Rapid Acquisition Technique for Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Communications. The rapid acquisition technique described here can be used in direct sequence spread spectrum systems. The technique employs a double threshold which defines when a decision can be made. These thresholds change at each examination instant. Using this technique a significant reduction in the acquisition time of a direct sequence spread spectrum signal is obtained. A New Double Threshold Acquisition Scheme Applied to the Fading Channel in Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum.
