Abstract

PURPOSE:To acquire synchronism regardless of reduction of mutual correlations by not using a threshold level but detecting the peak of a mutual correlation value to discriminate acquisition of synchronism. CONSTITUTION:A pseudo random (PN) code generator 10 generates two PN codes which have the same code string and are different in code phase from each other by 180 deg., and a correlator 8 outputs the correlation value between a reception signal and one PN code, and a correlator 9 outputs the correlation value between the reception signal and the other PN code. A synchronism acquisition control part 12 detects peaks of respective correlation values to control the clock speed of a clock generator 11, and the clock generator 11 supplies a PN code generating clock. Thus, synchronism is accurately acquired even if correlation values are reduced by the noise of a transmission line.

(See page S88-21.25) In this sliding correlation method, the PN code generator of the receiver is operated at a different clock speed than the PN code generator of the transmitter, and the relative positions between the PN codes of the transmitter and receiver are shifted. The cross-correlation value of the PN code is determined, and when the value becomes larger than the threshold level, synchronization is assumed to be complete. Synchronization acquisition is achieved by making the clock speed of the PN code generator of the receiver the same as that of the transmitter. I was doing it.

In step 25, it is determined whether the held value of the search phase matches the phase difference φ between the two PN codes on the receiving side. If they match, the process proceeds to step 26 to determine the peak of the correlation value A. . Furthermore, if the held values of the search phases do not match, the process returns to step 21, the cross-correlation is calculated for the next cycle of the PN code, and this process is repeated. Step 2
If the peak of the correlation value A is determined in step 6, the process proceeds to step 27, where the clock speed on the receiving side is matched with the clock speed on the transmitting side, and the synchronization acquisition is completed.

As explained above, the present invention detects the peak of the cross-correlation between the received signal and a plurality of PN sequences with different code phases to determine synchronization acquisition in spread spectrum communication. , even if the cross-correlation value decreases, there is an effect that synchronization acquisition can be performed correctly. Also, if the cross-correlation produces a pseudo peak characteristic at a relative phase point other than the true same expectation, 360% of the relative phase
Since the true peak phase is detected over (2π), there is no possibility of accidentally synchronizing with a pseudo peak. Since peak detection is performed at the same time,
This has the effect of reducing the time required for synchronization acquisition.
