Abstract
The advent of reasonably fast and inexpensive Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) components offers an opportunity to reconsider the merits of composite-code-uplink ranging systems, abandoned years ago. It is shown in this article that a ranging receiver with a sufficient and reasonable number of correlators is competitive with the current sequential component ranging system and may outperform that system by some 1,.52.5 dB. The optimum transmitter code, the optimum receiver, and a near-maximumlikelihood range-estimation algorithm are presented.
