Abstract

A satellite time dynamic search method and a receiver implementing such a method are disclosed. In the present invention, a predetermined period of time is sampled into multiple time samples. The time samples are sieved according to a search result of a satellite selected from candidate satellites each time. By repeatedly doing so, the finally remaining time sample will approach a true satellite system time, and accordingly the candidate satellites converge to the most possible ones as to facilitate satellite search.
