A method and circuit for adaptively determining a pilot signal reacquisition time. A searcher subsystem (55) measures a phase of the pilot signal. A control processor (62) measures a magnitude of a shift in the pilot signal phase, compares the measured magnitude to a shift threshold, and decreases the reacquisition time if the measured magnitude is not greater than the shift threshold. The control processor (62) also may compare the reacquisition time to a minimum reacquisition time, and decrease the reacquisition time only if the reacquisition time is greater than the minimum reacquisition time. Additionally, the control processor (62) may increase the reacquisition time to a maximum reacquisition time if the measured magnitude is greater than said shift threshold. |
