Abstract
A code division, multiple access (CDMA) receiver includes an RF section for receiving a CDMA signal through a channel; a circuit for determining an instantaneous total received power (Io) of the received CDMA signal; and a searcher that is one of enabled for operation or disabled from operation in accordance with value of Io. The circuit includes a comparator for comparing Io against a threshold, and for generating a searcher trigger signal only when Io exceeds the threshold or, preferably, for generating the searcher trigger signal if Io does not exceed the threshold, within some predetermined period of time.
