ABSTRACT:
A multiple access, spread-spectrum communication tracking system includes apparatus which tracks a centroid of a transmitted code-division multiplexed (CDM) code sequence that is contaminated with multipath distortion. The apparatus includes an analog to digital converter which digitally samples the spread-spectrum channel signal to produce a sequence of sample values. The sample values are divided into a set of even-numbered sample values which correspond to early multipath signal components and the set of odd sample number values which correspond to the multipath signal components. The centroid tracking receiver generates a plurality of local code sequences, each of which is a code phase-shifted version of the transmitted code sequence. The centroid tracking receiver correlates each of the locally generated code sequences with the odd and even numbered sample values, respectively, to produce a group of early despread multipath signals and a group of late despread multipath signals. The group of early despread multipath signals are weighted and processed to produce an early tracking value, and the group of late despread multipath signals are weighted and processed to produce a late tracking value. The difference between the early tracking value and the late tracking value is calculated to produce an error signal value. Finally, the centroid tracking system adjusts the code phase of each of the locally generated code sequences to minimize the error signal value.
