Abstract
A communications acquisition method includes a correlation of a received, coded spread sequence having a length of m bits with a locally generated spread sequence m times, in each case delayed by one bit, in order to form m correlation responses. Each correlation response is added, with a delay, to a succeeding correlation response to form a correlation result, the delay being an integer multiple of m and of a further bit. Finally, a maximum search is carried out over all m correlation results. A configuration for carrying out the method includes a correlator having an output connected to a first input of an adder and also to a second input of the adder through a delay element.
