In this paper, we study the problem of high stability code tracking for band-limited direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) systems. In band-limited DSSS systems carrying critical applications, high stability is required in addition to low error variance for code tracking. Therefore, we propose a high stability code tracking method for band-limited DSSS systems, which constructs frequency domain vectors from the received signal, reduces the dimension of the vectors by frequency domain integration and dump, and estimates the time-delay error by the subspace method. We also give a closed-form expression for the steady-state time-delay error variance of the proposed method, which can be used to analyze the error variance performance theoretically and design proper band-limited DSSS systems. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed method is able to enhance both the maximum and linear code tracking ranges, thus realizing high stability code tracking, and has constant error variance performance and appropriate computational complexity.
