Device and method for determining a time of arrival of a receive sequence

摘要

A device for determining a time of arrival of a receive sequence in a receiver comprises correlation means which is implemented to determine a correlation value sequence from a correlation of the receive sequence with a transmit sequence, wherein the correlation sequence comprises a peak shape having a main maximum and at least one local side maximum. The device further comprises processing means which is implemented to determine a point of the correlation sequence which lies within an interval which is on the one side bounded by the local side maximum and on the other side by the peak shape, and which is implemented to determine the time of arrival depending on the point.
