all one hundred and twenty eight 128 chips of the portion of the x component of the master scrambling code and the sixteen 16 chips of the portion of the y component of the master scrambling code before starting any of the correlations is not required one of the correlators 64 78 can be started every sixteen 16 chips in a pipelined fashion next a set of complex data signals or samples which is sixteen 16 chips in length d 0 d 15 are received and fed to each of the correlators 64 78 then each correlator partially correlates the same set of received complex data samples with the complex conjugate of its corresponding scrambling code segment the corresponding scrambling segment includes a portion of the x component and a portion of the y component it is to be noted that the respective x components of the scrambling code segments of any two adjacent correlators have a chip offset of sixteen 16 chips and that the same portion of the y component is shared by all the correlators 64 78 for example the first correlator cor 0 78 correlates the received data samples d 0 d 15 with the complex conjugate of its corresponding scrambling code segment x 0 u2212 gt x 15 j y 0 u2212 gt y 15 the second correlator cor 1 76 correlates the received data samples d 0 d 15 with the complex conjugate of its corresponding scrambling code segment x.
