 *  <li> Compute the input signal power estimation
 *  <li> Doppler serial search loop
 *  <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 queue
 *  </ol>
