Adaptive Acquisition of PN Code using Automatic Censoring CFAR Outlier Detection in Multipath Fading Mobile Channels

This paper describes a robust method of auto-adaptive pseudo noise (PN) code acquisition for mobile systems, when communicating in multipath environment. The proposed method is built on the Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) algorithm, which is referred to here as Median Absolute Deviation (MAD)-CFAR. The new method does not need any prior information of the background situations, and employs the Me...
