1. A signal processor comprising:
- a plurality of acquisition channels operable for capturing tracking information from a first plurality of satellite signals synchronously according to a plurality of correlations between a plurality of reference coarse acquisition (C/A) codes and said first plurality of satellite signals;
a first plurality of code generators coupled to said acquisition channels and operable for generating said reference C/A codes to said acquisition channels; and
a configurator coupled to said acquisition channels and operable for selecting an available acquisition channel and selecting an available code generator and for allocating said available code generator to said available acquisition channel.

Abstract
A signal processor for processing multiple satellite signals is disclosed. The signal processor includes multiple acquisition channels operable for capturing tracking information from a first plurality of satellite signals synchronously according to multiple correlations between multiple reference coarse acquisition (C/A) codes and the first plurality of satellite signals. The signal processor further includes multiple code generators coupled to the acquisition channels and operable for generating the reference C/A codes to the acquisition channels.
