Effects of gain and phase imbalance on sum-difference code tracking loop's performance in spread spectrum systems

@inproceedings{citeulike:2802223, abstract = {The nonlinear renewal process approach (RPA) is applied to analyze the noncoherent sum-difference loop (SDL) with gain and phase imbalance for spread spectrum systems. In the analysis, the code acquisition boundary is equal to the branch offset, 0\<\δ\⩽1. The results indicate that under phase imbalance, when \δ\⩾0.5 and with gain balance, the values of the DC bias of the SDL are small and will not change with the loop signal-to-noise ratio (SNR); when \δ\<0.5 and with a low loop SNR, the DC bias becomes larger which will result in the SDL loss of lock. A larger branch offset may result in a higher mean-time-to-lose-lock (MTLL) for the SDL with gain and phase imbalance; however, the RMS tracking error has not obviously changed with the increasing branch offset.
