<p>A method is disclosed for operating a CDMA mobile station (10) that stores a Preferred Roaming List, as is a mobile station that operates in accordance with the method. The method includes steps of (a) tuning a receiver to an RF channel identified in the Preferred Roaming List; (b) allowing an AGC signal to be generated and settle; (c) sampling and digitizing outputs of In-phase and Quadrature-phase signal channels, and storing the digitized samples; (d) performing a FFT spectral analysis using the stored digitized samples; (e) based at least on a result of the spectral analysis and a value of the AGC signal, determining a likelihood that the RF channel is a CDMA channel; and (f) storing an indication of the likelihood that the RF channel is CDMA channel for use during a system synchronization and acquisition task. Using the technique of this invention those channels that may contain AMPS and TDMA channels, such as GSM channels, can be identified and marked such that they are not later PN searched, or are PN searched with a lower priority than the channels identified as likely being CDMA channels. <IMAGE></p> |
