Abstract:
1. A method for synchronizing the phase of a code available at a receiving unit with the phase of a corresponding code of which samples are received at said receiving unit, comprising: comparing said received code sample with different samples of said available code at said receiving unit, and shifting the respective sample of said available code in phase for each comparison by a predetermined amount until a correspondence with said received code sample is determined or until a measurement related interrupt of said synchronization occurs, wherein said synchronization is continued after the measurement related interrupt with a newly received code sample and with available code samples proceeding from the code phase of said available code reached in said synchronization before said measurement related interrupt shifted by an amount corresponding to the time elapsed between the time of reception of the last code sample before said measurement related interrupt and the time of reception of the new code sample after said measurement related interrupt.
