A performance and complexity optimization of joint code and frame synchronization for DVB-S2/RCS mobile

摘要

This paper analyzes the possibility to perform joint frame synchronization and code acquisition for the DVB-RCS mobile system. Since the standard foresees the adoption of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum techniques, novel detectors able to cope with the scenario at hand are proposed. Comparison in terms of Mean Acquisition Time and complexity are carried out, and the best solution in terms of performance / complexity tradeoff is identified.
