The invention discloses a method for capturing and tracking a time-hopping
direct sequence spread spectrum signal, which comprises the following steps of: carrying out matched filtering on the
signal to obtain an incoherent detection quantity; judging whether a
target signal exists or not; determining the existence time of the
target signal and obtaining a time hopping sequence of the
signal according to the existence time and the receiving time
interval sequence; mixing the time hopping sequence of the signal with a local carrier to obtain an I / Q
demodulation signal, determining an error value of a
pseudo code phase according to the I / Q
demodulation signal and the
pseudo code, and adjusting the phase of the local
pseudo code to realize accurate synchronization of the pseudo code at the receiving end and the pseudo code at the sending end;
coherent integration is carried out on an I / Q
demodulation signal and an instant code of a local pseudo code to obtain a
phase difference between a received signal carrier and a local reference carrier, and the output frequency and phase of a
voltage-controlled oscillator are controlled. According to the invention, signals can be rapidly and accurately captured and stably tracked in a complex communication environment, and the overall performance of a communication
system is improved.
