 * \brief This class implements a Parallel Code Phase Search Acquisition with the
 * QuickSync Algorithm
 *
 *  Acquisition strategy (Kay Borre book CFAR + threshold).
 *  <ol>
 *  <li> Compute the input signal power estimation
 *  <li> Doppler serial search loop
 *  <li> Perform folding of the incoming signal and local generated code
 *  <li> Perform the FFT-based circular convolution (parallel time search)
 *  <li> Record the maximum peak and the associated synchronization parameters
 *  <li> Compute the test statistics and compare to the threshold
 *  <li> Declare positive or negative acquisition using a message port
 *  <li> Obtain the adequate acquisition parameters by correlating the incoming
 *       signal shifted by the possible folded delays
 *  </ol>
