Simulations of the acquisition module for DS-CDMA systems

This paper is a summary of simulations in a "single-dwell" device. This serial acquisition device has been simulated to characterize its behaviour in the presence of real communication. Different graphs for false alarm and detection probabilities have been derived for several values of pilot signal power, number of interference users, noise, drift, etc., and the effect of these parameters evaluated. The analysis, results and conclusions are also applicable in a multiple dwell structure.
