 | | Using multiple banks, the system resources such as the dwell accumulators and the DSP are used concurrently to reduce the time required to test the phase delays of the short code to lock on to a base station. |
 | | In this example, bank A 76 is given the control of the resource 72 first, and the resource 72 dwells for N chips at the delay of D.sub.a as indicated by block 61. |
 | | When the energy of the accumulant of bank A 76 or of the accumulant of bank B 78 exceeds the accept threshold, the process is halted and the delay, or the phase, of the code used to despread the chips for said accumulant is considered to be the base station delay. |
