Abstract

Abstract : A complete synchronization detection sub - system for direct sequence spread spectrum ( DS / SS ) system has been designed and implemented using Xilinx - Virtex Field Programmable Gate Array ( FPGA ) device . Then , a number of modifications has been made to the original sub - system to obtain optimum FPGA cost / delay optimization . For this purpose , the 8 bit representation of BPSK DS / SS signal was replaced by only one bit representation with the same performance at middle values of signal - to - noise ratio . The synthesis and implementation reports of VHDL programs that written to model both systems are developed for comparison purpose . These reports show that the modified implementation offers a cost reduction factor of 95.8 % and delay reduction factor of 50 % as compared with the traditional one .
