A rake receiver is a radio receiver designed to counter the effects of multipath fading. It does this by using several "sub-receivers" called fingers, that is, several correlators each assigned to a different multipath component. Each finger independently decodes a single multipath component; at a later stage the contribution of all fingers are combined in order to make the most use of the different transmission characteristics of each transmission path. This could very well result in higher signal-to-noise ratio (or Eb/N₀) in a multipath environment than in a "clean" environment.
This invention discloses a signal receiving method for spread spectrumunderwater acoustic communication in long-distance time-varying channels, comprising: acquiring the received communication signal, obtaining a basebandsignal through down-conversion and low-pass filtering, and dividing the baseband signal into blocks according to pilot signals and spread spectrum sequence signals after synchronization; performing initial channel estimation using the pilot signals to obtain initial Doppler estimates, time delay estimates, and amplitude response estimates for each path; performing frequency offset compensation and resampling on the first spread spectrum sequence received signal using the estimated Doppler; constructing a Rake receiver for the first spread spectrum sequence signal to be estimated using the estimated time delay and amplitude response; combining the Rake receiver and using maximum likelihood estimation to realize the decision on the current spread spectrum sequence and the log-likelihood ratio of each corresponding bit; estimating the Doppler, time delay, and amplitude response of the current spread spectrum sequence signal using the decided spread spectrum sequence; and so on, completing the decision on all spread spectrum sequences. This invention can effectively reduce the demodulationbit error rate.
