Abstract:
1. A method for receiving an incoming signal having data bits spread by a spreading code, the method comprising: integrating said incoming signal in first time segments for determining first segment magnitude sets, respectively, having first segment magnitudes corresponding to code phases of said spreading code; integrating said incoming signal in second time segments alternating with said first time segments, a first one of said second time segments following a first one of said first time segments, for determining second segment magnitude sets, respectively; said second segment magnitude sets, respectively, having second segment magnitudes corresponding to said code phases, respectively; and in a combiner, combining said first segment magnitude sets according to said code phases for providing a first combined magnitude set having first combined magnitudes corresponding to said code phases, respectively, and combining said second segment magnitude sets according to said code phases for providing a second combined magnitude set having second combined magnitudes corresponding to said code phases, respectively.
