Abstract:
This paper investigates the performance of synchronization of the direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSSCDMA) system under jamming. A result of initial investigation shows that the synchronization in DSSS-CDMA is vulnerable to the jamming attacks. This vulnerability has a tragic effect on the system’s error rate. A mathematical expression for of the probability of detection and probability of false alarm has been derived and being used to study the performance of synchronization. . Further, we have computed the amount of jamming power which is required to collapse the synchronization. Performance analysis using Monte Carlo simulation in MATLAB conforms the theoretical results.
