Apparatus and method for performing fast acquisition of PN sequences by transferring distributed samples

摘要

This invention is to provide an apparatus and method for performing fast distributed sample acquisition (DSA) which is applicable to DS/CDMA system with a long-period PN sequence. The apparatus includes a spreader which generates a data signal by spreading an incoming data stream over a predetermined range of spectrum according to a locally generated first main sequence and samples the state sample of said main sequence, a sample spreader which makes the state sample output from a spreader corresponding to one of binary orthogonal symbols having a predetermined length and outputs a first state signal by spreading the symbol according to a locally generated first subsequence, a sample despreader which reconstructs the transmitted binary orthogonal symbols by despreading the first state signal obtained from the sample spreader according to a locally generated second subsequence and therefrom detects the state sample of the first main sequence, and a despreader which compares the state sample obtained from the sample despreader with a locally generated state sample and makes correction on the SRG installed within itself as many as a predetermined number of times, generates a second main sequence having new states, and reconstructs the incoming data stream by despreading the data signal obtained from the spreader according to the second main sequence.
