ANALYSIS OF A PSEUDO-RANDOM NETWORK TIMING SYSTEM FOR TIME-DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS COMMUNICATIONS.
Abstract
One signal modulation technique which permits the simultaneous interconnection of several surface terminals is termed Time-Division Multiple-Access (TDMA). A technique for establishing time synchronization in a Time-Division Multiple Access communication system is described and analyzed. The technique involves the transmission and correlation reception of a network timing signal. The timing signal consists of a pulsed envelope carrier bi-phase modulated by a maximal-length pseudo-random sequence. Tracking of the pseudo-random timing signal is accomplished in an envelope correlation delay-lock receiver. Expressions for the rms timing error in the presence of additive Gaussian noise are derived. The expressions indicate the dependence of timing error on pseudo-random bit duration and code length, receiver IF bandwidth, and the ratio of input signal power to noise power density.
