Abstract
This paper describes the synchronization process in a spread spectrum burst communication system which is based on the application of surface acoustic wave (SAW) convolvers. The data modulation is binary code shift keying (CSK). For spectrum spreading pseudonoise (PN) direct-sequence (DS) is employed. The performance of the receiver synchronization in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise is analyzed, the measure of performance being the probability of burst loss. Special attention is paid to the effect of code autocorrelation sidelobes on the detection of the synchronization preamble, and a strategy for the elimination of this effect is considered. Theoretical performance is compared with some experimental results obtained with a test modem.

SAW Processors vs. Competing Technologies for Spread Spectrum Data Link Applications

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the area of spread spectrum communications to gain insight into the following questions: What functions are needed? What are the parameter requirements? What is the production opportunities? How does SAW technology compete? Is more RSD required? System factors that drive technology selection include data rate and fidelity requirements, jam-resistance and synchronization needs, production volume and cost.
