An aspect of the invention is a signal processing method for correlation computation between received signal samples, code replica and carrier replica. The method is characterized in that the method comprises steps of: mapping (110) received signal samples into a range of unsigned integers; separating (120) bits of the mapped N-bit sample sequences into N sequences of bits; performing at least one exclusive or (XOR) operation between a sequence of bits and the code; counting (140) number of bits having value 1 in the result of the exclusive or (XOR); remapping (150) the sum back into numeric range of the received signal samples; multiplying the remapped sum by carrier replica; and accumulating (170) the product of multiplication for an interval of at least a code epoch. |
