Rr. Rick et Lb. Milstein, PARALLEL ACQUISITION OF SPREAD-SPECTRUM SIGNALS WITH ANTENNA DIVERSITY, IEEE transactions on communications, 45(8), 1997, pp. 903-905
The use of antenna diversity is investigated for improving the paralle
l acquisition performance of a direct-sequence spread-spectrum signal
in both flat and frequency-selective fading channels, Noncoherent comb
ining techniques are analyzed because coherent diversity techniques, s
uch as maximal ratio combining, cannot be employed prior to initial ac
quisition.
