Abstract: Complex digital data values derived from a DSSS signal, in particular, a GNSS signal, are delivered to a general purpose microprocessor at a rate of 8 MHz and chip sums over eight consecutive data values spaced by a sampling length (TS), each beginning with one of the data values as an initial value, formed and stored. For code removal, each of a series of chip sums covering a correlation interval of 1 ms and each essentially coinciding with a chip interval of fixed chip length (TC), where a value of a basic function (bm) reflecting a PRN basic sequence of a satellite assumes a correlation value (Bm), is multiplied by the latter and the products added up over a partial correlation interval to form a partial correlation sum. The partial correlation interval is chosen in such a way that it essentially coincides with a corresponding Doppler interval having a Doppler length (TD) where a frequency function used for tentative Doppler shift compensation and represented by a step function (sine, cosine) is constant.
