An apparatus and method for providing variable-length correlation for spread-spectrum communications includes a derotator, a variable-length correlator in signal communication with the derotator, a phase detector in signal communication with the variable-length correlator, a lock detector in signal communication with the phase detector, and a controller in signal communication with the lock detector for controlling the length of the variable-length correlator; where the corresponding method to track out large frequency offsets in spread-spectrum communications includes receiving signal chips, correlating the received signal chips, computing a loop error in accordance with the correlation, setting a new lock status in accordance with the computed loop error and a previous lock status, and setting a new correlator length in accordance with the new lock status and a previous correlator length.
