Abstract:

In order to improve the reliability and speed of the synchronization algorithms for a direct-spread ultrawideband communications system, a stable rapid synchronization algorithm is proposed to acquire the path signal with the maximum energy, with the mean acquisition time being also formulated. In this algorithm, the characteristics of indoor muhi-path propagation and multi-hypothesis rapid synchronization algorithms are considered, and the path signal with the maximum energy is rapidly acquired for the stable timing synchronization. Simulated results indicate that the proposed algorithm is more rapid and stable than the existing synchronization algorithms.

Key words: direct-spread uhra-wideband system, multi-path propagation, multi-hypothesis timing synchronization algorithm, mean acquisition time
