METHOD OF ESTIMATING A PARAMETER OF A LOCAL MAXIMA OR LOCAL 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 function. 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.
