Abstract:
1. A method for operating a wireless terminal operable to receive a diversity Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) signal from a base station, the method comprising: generating a wireless terminal clock using a wireless terminal oscillator; receiving the diversity WCDMA signal via two receive paths, the diversity WCDMA signal produced by the base station using a base station clock that is produced using a base station oscillator that is more accurate than the wireless terminal oscillator; multiplexing the diversity WCDMA signal of the two receive paths to a plurality of Primary Synchronization (PSYNC) correlation branches of a PSYNC module so that a first one of the receive paths couples to the plurality of PSYNC correlation branches during first time intervals and a second one of the receive paths couples to the plurality of PSYNC correlation branches during second time intervals; and for each of the plurality of PSYNC correlation branches and for each of the first time intervals and the second time intervals:
