Assignment:
Find the mean and the standard deviation of the time needed to acquire a 10-megachip/s BPSK modulated PN code sequence using a serial search where 100 chips are examined at a time. Assume that a correct detection results when all 100 received chips match the locally generated ones. The ratio of received chip energy to noise power spectral density is 9.6dB, and the uncertainty time between the received and local code sequences is 1 ms. Assume that the probability of false lock (false alarm) is negligible.
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
