            Abstract : 
An improved sequential estimation (ISE) pseudonoise (PN) acquisition scheme based on an extended characteristic polynomial is proposed in which the PN despreader can work or both the m sequence and the inverted m sequence. The scheme can be easily implemented by a front-end bit detector followed by full digital circuitry. The mean acquisition time of ISE is derived
