A system and method for determining a fine frequency offset of a composite code spread spectrum signal is disclosed. The method includes despreading at least one component of the composite spread spectrum signal to form a partially despread composite spread spectrum signal. A set of on-time samples are selected from the signal. The set of on-time samples are rotated by a predetermined frequency amount. The set of rotated samples are placed into a plurality of frequency bins, with each frequency bin representative of a different frequency estimate. An energy for the signal in each frequency bin is determined to find the bin having the greatest energy.
