Abstract
A method and system for determining Psuedo-Noise (PN) composite phase is provided. The method includes providing at least three relatively prime PN component codes and partially correlating a received PN composite encoded signal with one of the PN component codes. The method also includes partially correlating the received PN composite encoded signal with a second one of the PN component codes while maintaining phase alignment of the first partially phase aligned PN code through the use of normalized autonomous phase numbers (NAPNs). The received PN composite encoded signal is then phase aligned with a receiver PN composite code phase in steps of epoch lengths of the partially phase aligned PN component codes.
