which is the target probability of successful acquisition. This results in Pe23 ≈ 1.1×10 -3 . Since<br />

the integraton time for C6 is also used for the other sequences, PeLi will decrease<br />

progressively from C5 to C1.<br />

2.4.3.2 Accurate Analysis<br />

A more accurate analysis for the on-board acquisition performances is based on the same<br />

approach applied in 2.6.3.2 for the ground station case.<br />

However, for the on-board mixed serial/parallel architecture, since each probing sequence Ci<br />

is acquired using a serial algorithm, the noise component for the Li different correlations can<br />

be assumed statistically independent 3 . Therefore, in this case<br />

For the on-board receiver, it can be observed that the correlation time for code Ci is TCOR,i =<br />

TACQ/Li, since Li phases are serially processed in the time interval TACQ. As an example, the<br />

correlation time applied for code C2 is 23/7 of the correlation time of the code C6 and as a<br />

consequence P(C2) >> P(C6). So one can conclude that for the on-board acquisition scheme<br />

PACQ ≈ P(C6), and TACQ = 23×TCOR6. The required correlation time TCOR6 for a probability of<br />

3 This is the reason why the simplified analysis and the accurate analysis provide similar results for on-board<br />

applications when the serial algorithm is applied for each probing sequence Ci.<br />
