Abstract: Selon l'invention, un récepteur de signaux utilise des accumulations d'échantillons se chevauchant pour acquérir et poursuivre un signal de spectre étalé reçu, avec une vitesse et une précision améliorées. Des accumulations d'échantillons sont formées par regroupement d'un nombre prédéterminé d'échantillons consécutifs. Des accumulations d'échantillons se chevauchant peuvent ensuite être créées par chevauchement d'une partie prédéterminée d'accumulations d'échantillons adjacentes. Après leur formation, les accumulations d'échantillons se chevauchant sont transmises à un discriminateur de synchronisation, de sorte à déterminer une erreur de synchronisation indiquant une différence entre la synchronisation du signal de spectre étalé reçu et la synchronisation du récepteur de signaux. Le discriminateur de synchronisation compare des signaux d'accumulations précoces et tardifs se chevauchant, de sorte à déterminer une erreur de synchronisation mise à jour. Le récepteur de synchronisation est ensuite réglé en fonction de ladite erreur de synchronisation. Le chevauchement des accumulations d'échantillons permet d'effectuer des réglages de la synchronisation du système, plus rapidement que si des échantillons disjoints étaient utilisés.
