Optimum waiting time for acquisition of return link PN signalsThe subject of this paper is a model that takes into account the effect that acquisition of a PN signal on the forward link has on the acquisition of a PN signal on the return link. The model is used to determine how long the start of the PN search on the return link should be delayed in order to minimize the combined acquisition time (delay + acquisition time) as a function of desired acquisition probability. It is assumed that the return link a-priori epoch uncertainty information is available. Software has been developed that models the return link PN receiver and incorporates in it the effect of forward link PN acquisition statistics in assessing performance.
