The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for use in a communications system wherein a received signal is sampled. The apparatus is comprised of a unit for demultiplexing the received signal samples onto a plurality of output terminals in a cyclic fashion. A plurality of sub-correlators are provided, each connected to a different one of the output terminals and providing and output. A multiplexing unit are provided for multiplexing the outputs of the plurality of sub-correlators in the cyclic fashion. Finally, a unit is provided which is responsive to the multiplexed outputs of the plurality of correlators for determining at least one signal dispersion characteristic. The method, therefore is comprised of the steps of demultiplexing samples of a signal onto a plurality of output terminals in a cyclic fashion; coupling each output terminal to an associated correlator in a plurality of correlators, each correlator receiving the samples from a differentoutput terminal and providing a correlated output signal; and multiplexing the outputs of the plurality of correlators in the cyclic fashion. The method also includes the step of determining at least one signal dispersion characteristic to respond to the multiplexed outputs of the plurality of correlators.
