International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 14-16, 1980 / Bahia Hotel, San Diego, California === Lock detector lock algorithms for both pseudonoise spread spectrum systems and carrier loops are discussed. Specifically, a theory based on discrete time Markov processes employing a generalization of some results of Kemeny and Snell(1) are derived and yield both the mean and the variance of the time it takes to have a false dismissal and a false alarm. Some examples of typical algorithms are given.
