The performance measure used is the variance of error in the acquired code-phase position. The channel is assumed to have multipath nature and a five correlator RAKE receiver is considered in the analysis. The results presented can be used to make the necessary system tradeoffs so that the system objectives can be realized. The effect of integration time, spreading gain and spectral shape of the signal on the acquired code phase error is brought out. A relationship between the signal to noise ratio degradation and code phase jitter is also presented.Thesis
