the invention relates to the acquisition of a code modulated signal , wherein a first set of correlation results for correlations between the code modulated signal and a first replica code with different code phases and a second set of correlation results for correlations between the code modulated signal and a second replica code with different code phases are available . in order to achieve a high sensitivity , results from both sets of correlation results are combined , wherein correlation results used in the combination are selected based on information on a relative difference between a correct code phase for both replica codes . then , it is determined based on the combination whether at least one of the sets of correlation results comprises a correlation result representing the correct code phase for the first replica code or the second replica code , respectively .
