A frequency tracking loop for a communication system using orthogonal Walsh modulation is provided. The frequency tracking loop includes a correlator (120) such as a fast Hadamard transformation device, and a discriminator (130). The correlator (120) produces correlation vector (122) representing the result of correlating the input signal with each of a set of Walsh functions, with corresponding index values. The discriminator (130) produces a frequency error signal (ê) based on the correlator (120) output with the highest energy level and other correlator outputs whose indices are related to the index of highest energy correlator output by powers of two. The frequency error signal (ê) is generated by producing a cross product between the highest energy output and one or more of the other related correlator outputs. In further aspects, a filter (140) can be used to further shape the resulting error signal (ê) and form a frequency offset estimate signal (~).
