Abstract

A method for synchronization of an input-chip-sequence (x(ν)) of a CDMA-signal with a Pilot-Chip-Sequence (pn(ν)) having the method steps of: dividing the Pilot-Chip-Sequence (pn(ν)) into subintervals (1, 2, 3 . . . 8); assembling a particular number (2·AnzSub) of the subintervals (1, 2, 3 . . . 8) into subinterval groups; forming at least one summed subinterval group(s) (pnΣ1 (ν), . . . ) by linewise, pairwise arranging respective one-following-the-other subintervals (1,2; 2,3; 3,4; . . . 8,1), with the first subinterval of a particular line being respectively the second subinterval of the previous line, and column-wise adding the chips of all the line-wise, pair-wise arranged subintervals (1,2; 2,3; 3,4; . . . 8,1); and correlating the input-chip sequence with each summed subinterval group (pnΣ1 (ν), . . . ) in a first correlation (5; 5a; 5b) for determining a displacement (Ôffset) between the input-chip-sequence and that of the summed subinterval group(s) (pnΣ1 (ν), . . . ).
