The invention discloses a weak
spread spectrum signal hierarchical synchronous receiving method, which is based on a long coherent accumulation mechanism, utilizes the difference of the code lengths of different
spread spectrum codes to the sensitivity of
frequency offset, and realizes the efficient synchronous receiving of the signals through the hierarchical capture of code phases and the step-by-step compensation of the
frequency offset. Compared with a traditional two-dimensional joint search (code phase and frequency) method, the method has the advantages that the search process is optimized into one-dimensional search, and exhaustive search of frequency dimension is avoided, so that the calculation complexity is remarkably reduced, and the
processing efficiency is improved. According to the method, a strategy of capturing the code
phase step by step is adopted, and a coarse
estimation scheme and a fine
estimation scheme of
frequency offset are combined, so that relatively high capturing sensitivity and synchronization precision are ensured. Especially in a low
signal-to-
noise ratio environment and a complex channel condition, the receiving reliability of the
spread spectrum signal can be effectively improved. The method and the
system have the advantages of low calculation complexity, simplicity in hardware implementation, high adaptability and the like, and an innovative solution is provided for receiving and
processing weak spread spectrum signals.
