Abstract
Method and receiver synchronizing receiver with received ambiguous signal having at least two peaks. Method includes providing information about known transmitted signal having a number of at least two peaks, the information including number of peaks and distances between at least two peaks, determining ratios between peaks of known transmitted signal and assigning determined ratio value to each peak, and deducing theoretical auto-correlation function from known transmitted signal. Auto-correlation function has number of correlations corresponding to number of peaks in known transmitted signal and correlators of the auto-correlation function are provided in same distance and have the same relative ratio as peaks in known transmitted signal. Further includes tracking received signal with auto-correlation function so that correlator pattern of auto-correlation function is aligned with peak pattern of received signal by assigning each peak of the received signal to a correlator of the auto-correlation function, and identifying each peak.
