    摘要: The present invention provides a method, system, and apparatus for rapidly acquiring and correlating synchronization codes for a mobile receiver used for position determination purposes. The receiver uses a processing unit to perform the correlation functions. The processing unit first computes, for each segment interval of the received signal, the phase offset of that interval. Each interval is appropriately adjusted to account for the computed phase offset. The processing unit then accumulates the phase-adjusted segment intervals, and may down-convert the accumulated signal to a baseband format from an intermediate frequency. The processing unit then correlates the accumulated signal with a reference signal to produce a correlation peak, from which the time delay of a synchronization code within the interval can be calculated. Ultimately, the receiver's position can be determined based on the calculated time delay.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method, system, and apparatus for estimating a pilot frequency of a television broadcast signal at a receiver. In one aspect, the receiver constitutes a mobile device that uses the estimated pilot frequency to facilitate the determination of position location of the mobile device. The receiver includes a processor which estimates the pilot frequency by computing a baseband version of the pilot signal relative to a reference frequency, defining time-shifted segments for the pilot signal and its baseband version, computing phase correction terms using the pilot signal and its baseband version, phase correcting each received signal segment, and estimating the pilot frequency. In another aspect of the invention, a phase-locked-loop is used to track the phase of the incoming pilot signal. The loop filter and/or the phase of the numerically controlled oscillator is scaled to account for the non-integer nature of samples within the received segments.
