Abstract

We design a searcher for the synchronization channel of WCDMA. The simulated correlation properties of the primary synchronization channel (PSC) and SSC codes are illustrated. From these simulation results, methods for slot identification and code group identification are introduced and designed. Matched filter and correlator are designed and a new algorithm for code group searching is proposed. Both the slot and the group identification can be done within 20 msec with this hardware
