위성 기반 측위 시스템은 위치 기반 기술의 핵심 기술로서, CDMA 시스템을 사용한다. CDMA 시스템에서 원활한 위치 측위를 하기 위해서는 확산 부호의 정확한 동기가 이루어져야 한다. 본 논문은 확산 부호의 동기 기법 가운데 부호 추적 기법에 초점을 맞춘다. 특히 다중 경로 환경에서 기존의 부호 추적 기법인 DLL 방법은 적합하지 않다. 본 논문은 수신 신호에서 다중 경로 신호를 축출하여 이를 부호 추적 기법에 사용하는 방법을 제안한다. Spirent simulator를 이용하여 제안 기법을 검증하고 성능 평가를 보인다.

The navigation system like GPS which is core technology is based on Code Division Multiple Access(CDMA) techniques. To receive satellite signal smoothly in CDMA, received signals have to synchronize with spread code. In this paper, we focus on the code tracking methods among synchronization techniques. The conventional delay lock loop(DLL) is unsuitable for multi-path channel. We will introduce how it overcomes distortion by multi-path. We will propose method that separates out multi-path signals and tracks the each path signals. And we will confirm performance of proposed method using Spirent simulator.

In this paper, code tracking loop was designed and the timing tracking performance of 1st order and 2nd order Delay-Locked Loop(DLL) for S-CDMA cable modem was evaluated in impulse, AWGN, and frequency offset channel environment. The designed 1st order DLL showed insufficient tracking performance in severe impulse noise or large frequency offset. On the other hand, the designed 2nd order DLL of loop gain G1=0.8, G2=0.01 showed good tracking performance with noticeable reduction of jitter.

In this paper, performance of a pseudonoise (PN) code tracking loop is analyzed and simulated for a direct-sequence/code-division multiple access ( DS/CDMA) system with imperfect power control in a multipath fading channel. A noncoherent first-order delay-locked loop (DLL) is considered as a PN code tracking loop. Power control error is modeled as a log-normally distributed random variable. From the simulation results, it is shown that for smaller discriminator offset, tracking jitter performance is improved while MTLL performance is degraded. It is shown that large power control error and heavy shadowing substantially degrade the PN tracking performance. The analysis in this paper can be applicable to design of PN code tracking loop for a DS/CDMA system.

In this paper, effect of imperfect power control on performance of a pseudonoise (PN) code tracking loop is analyzed and simulated for a direct-sequence/code-division multiple access (DS/CDMA) system. The multipath fading channel is modeled as a two-ray Rayleigh fading model. Power control error is modeled as a log-normally distributed random variable. The tracking performance of DLL (delay-locked-loop) is evaluated in terms of tracking jitter and mean-time-to-lose-lock (MTLL). From the simulation results, it is shown that the PN tracking performance is very sensitive to the power control error.
