Abstract

A method for determining the time of receipt by a radio receiver of a binary coded radio message emitted by a sender. A radio signal containing the message is received by the receiver. An analog electrical signal is generated, sampled and optionally demodulated. The data content of the message is determined based upon the demodulated signal as a stream of data bits. The stream of data bits comprises a predetermined signal element whose time of receipt is determined. A digitally stored, constructed comparison signal is created based upon the stream of data bits. The constructed comparison signal is constructed to correspond to the sampled signal, in that a time variable which maximizes a correlation between the constructed comparison signal and the sampled signal is determined, and in that the time variable is then used to correct the time determination of the receipt of the predetermined signal element.
