Abstract
A digital communication system includes a generator for generating a plurality of pulse trains, each having a different timing, and pre-compensation circuitry for synchronizing the plurality of pulse trains to a timing signal. The system also includes comparison circuitry for simultaneously comparing a received burst code signal to each of the plurality of pulse trains, where the burst code signal is synchronized to the timing signal, and a detector for detecting which of the pulse trains is a closest temporal match to the burst code signal. The pre-compensation circuitry operates to reduce acquisition time and keep PN code uncertainties within the range of the comparison circuitry.
