The phases of the reference signal samples are determined with respect to virtual epochs (41) of the data message bits of the reference signal (SPS). The time shifted replica signal (SLS) is composed from the reference signal samples as a function of the phases of the reference signal samples. In another embodiment, the time shifted replica signal (SLS) is composed from the reference signal samples (A to K), the sampling rate of the replica signal (SLS) being the same as that of the reference signal (SPS), at least one reference signal sample (A to K) not being present in the time shifted replica signal (SLS).Field of SearchSPREAD SPECTRUMHaving specific code acquisition or tracking Receiver Having specific code acquisition or tracking Having correlation-type receiver Having multi-receiver or interference cancellation Correlation-type receiver Having specific code synchronization Code division (CDMA) Combining or distributing information via code word channels using multiple access techniques (e.g., CDMA) Combining or distributing information via code word channels using multiple access techniques (e.g., CDMA) Combining or distributing information via code word channels using multiple access techniques (e.g., CDMA) | |
