Abstract:
In this paper, a new method for detecting and estimating the parameters of a binary phase shift keying (BPSK) signal, based on a cross-correlation function, is proposed. The proposed method consists of two stages. The first stage is used to detect or estimate a signal carrier frequency, and the second stage is used to estimate its pulse width or symbol rate. Firstly, the proposed method is investigated by use of a simulated BPSK signal in the form of Barker Codes 7, 11, and 13 in the MATLAB environment. Based on the simulation results, the functionality of this method is verified using a real-time BPSK signal generated by an E8267C generator. This is described in the second part of this paper. The experimental test results confirm that the proposed method is able to detect and estimate the parameters of all BPSK signals with SNR≥−21 dB.

Basic Continuous Time Signals
The unit step function, denoted u(t), is zero for negative time values and one for positive time values, exhibiting a discontinuity at t=0. This function often represents abrupt changes, such as the step voltage introduced when turning a car's...
