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 minimaof a correlation function derived from a received signal . An interpolatedlocal maxima or minima is determined. An interpolation offset is then derived,comprising a deviation between locations of the interpolated and sampled localmaxima or minima of the function. An estimate of the parameter is derived fromthe interpolation offset.
