A NEW METHOD FOR LINEAR SEQUENCE GENERATOR CONFIGURATION ESTIMATION

THERE IS A NEED TO IMPROVE RECEPTION OF AND SYNCHRONIZATION OF WIDEBAND SIGNALS OF UNKNOWN PARAMETERS. FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF THE ESTIMATION OF GENERATOR CONFIGURATIONS FROM THEIR OUTPUTS WILL HELP TO ACCOMPLISH THIS GOAL. A PROMISING APPROACH IS TO APPLY SHIFT-AND-ADD AND OTHER PROPERTIES OF LINEAR SEQUENCES TO THE DETERMINATION OF THE GENERATOR CONFIGURATION. A PROPOSED ESTIMATION METHOD, THE ATE ALGORITHM, OF CYNETICS CORP., PROMISES FAST ESTIMATION OF THE GENERATOR TAP CONFIGURATION WHILE USING RELATIVELY SIMPLE METHODS WHICH ARE WELL PROVEN IN OTHER APPLICATIONS. THE GOAL OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH IS TO ANALYZE THE NEW ALGORITHM AND SO DETERMINE ITS FEASIBILITY. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY THEORETICAL ANALYSES AND LIMITED, SIMPLE COMPUTER SIMULATION. THIS RESEARCH IS ATTRACTIVE SINCE THE METHOD IS EXPECTED TO PERFORM WELL, BASED ON THE PAST EXPERIENCE WITH RELATED ALGORITHMS.
