Performance analysis of SD/SS code acquisition for FO-CDMA systems using PPM signaling and optical orthogonal code

This paper proposes and theoretically analyzes the performance of single-dwell serial-search (SD/SS) code acquisition for fiber-optic code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems using pulse-position modulation (PPM) signaling and optical orthogonal code (OOC). To analyze the proposed code acquisition system, mean acquisition time is derived taking into account multiple-access interference (MAI) and receivers shot-noise. Discussion upon effect of various system parameters to the performance of proposed system is also presented
