Performance analysis for the expanding search PN acquisition algorithmAn approach is described for approximating the cumulative probability distribution of the acquisition time of the serial pseudonoise (PN) search algorithm. The results are applicable to both variable and fixed dwell time systems. The theory is developed for the case where some a priori information is available on the PN code epoch (reacquisition problem or acquisition of very long codes). Also considered is the special case of a search over the whole code. The accuracy of the approximation is demonstrated by comparisons with published exact results for the fixed dwell time algorithm.
