Comparative Analysis of Acquisitions Techniques for BOC Modulated Signals.

This work will address the analysis of acquisition schemes and algorithms useful for acquiring the Galileo BOC modulated signals and its performance. A modified acquisition strategy based on the Bump Jumping algorithm will be addressed. The impact of the side lobes (in terms of detection probability and false alarm probability) in different system conditions is evaluated. In order to compare the various acquisition systems and to identify the schemes that can be successfully used in the acquisition of Galileo signals, a simulation based analysis has been performed to identify the best strategy (and the relative parameters) that can work with the Galileo signal trading the receiver complexity with the expected performance
