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 />
