A method is provided for correlating samples of a received signal and samples of an internally generated/stored sample sequence ("IGSSS"). The method involves performing a first iteration of a first-resolution correlation state. The first-resolution correlation state involves: selecting a first N sets of samples from the received signal; selecting a first set of samples from the IGSSS; and concurrently comparing each of the N sets of samples with the first set of samples to determine if a correlation exists between the same. If it is determined that a correlation does not exist between one of the N sets of samples and the first set of samples, then a second iteration of the first-resolution correlation state is performed. If it is determined that a correlation exists between one of the N sets of samples and the first set of samples, then a first iteration of a second-resolution correlation state is performed.
