Synchronization combined PN code phase acquisition algorithm (SCA) for DSSS receiver

A new algorithm for PN code phase acquisition, synchronization combined PN code phase acquisition algorithm (SCA) is proposed in this paper. Compared with the conventional PN code phase acquisition algorithm, SCA has a higher detection probability and a lower false alarm rate. The simulation of power efficiency was done with a 3-bit PN code phase synchronizer and the result also shows that power efficiency of SCA is preferred to that of the conventional PN code phase acquisition algorithm.
