Abstract
A method and apparatus for evaluating signal strength of a channel received at a mobile station within a spread spectrum communication systems is disclosed. If the receiver at the mobile station receives a spread spectrum signal, a first sampling means converts the received signal into a first sample stream as a first sampling. A second sampling means converts the first sample stream into a second sample stream at a second sample rate, different from the first sample rate. The signal strength of a pilot channel is measured based upon the first and second sample streams.
