PROCEDURE FOR ESTIMATING A PARAMETER OF A LOCAL MAXIMA OR MINIMA OF A CORRELATION FUNCTION DERIVED FROM A RECEIVED SIGNAL

摘要

A method of and system for estimating a parameter of a local maxima or minima of a correlation function derived from a received signal . An interpolated local maxima or minima is determined. An interpolation offset is then derived, comprising a deviation between locations of the interpolated and sampled local maxima or minima of the function. An estimate of the parameter is derived from the interpolation offset.
