Recent advances in multi-antenna based code acquisition

The paper presents the recent progress in code acquisition exploiting multi-antenna techniques. Approaches based on diversity and beamforming techniques are discussed. Special emphasis is placed on examining two-dimensional (delay-angle) code acquisition, a particular case of beamforming applied to initial synchronization. Results are presented for a variety of typical scenarios found in CDMA networks.
