  • Abstract
    An adaptive algorithm for code acquisition in a direct sequence CDMA system is proposed. The algorithm is based on simultaneous channel estimation for multiple users. Its operation is demonstrated with up to four users transmitting over a 2 km shallow water channel within a 24 kHz acoustic bandwidth. Experimental results demonstrate the possibility of successful acquisition in the presence of strong multipath, with acquisition times on the order of a few hundred chip intervals.
