1. A parameter estimator comprising:
correlation logic for determining, using a dynamically variable integration time, a correlation function representing the correlation between a signal and one or more shifted versions of an identification code; and
analysis logic for analyzing the correlation function and estimating, responsive thereto, one or more parameter(s) other than the identification code relating to the signal.
