Digital Chip Synchronization Algorithms For Mobile Satellite Communication With Bandlimited Direct-Sequence Spread-Spectrum Signals

2.0 Bandlimited DS sprcad-spectrurn communication Currently the European Space Agency (ESA) is investigating the application of bandlimited DS sprea,d-spectrum signals in a code division multiple access CDMA) satellite network consisting of fixed Earth stations and mobile terminals i 11. In this contribution the tracking performance of various chip synchronization algorithms for bandlimited DS spread-spectrum is evaluated.
