DIGITAL RECEIVER SYNCHRONIZATION
First Claim
1. A method for synchronizing a receiver including identifying a preamble in a frame, where the preamble has a preamble length 1, comprising:
- m data items received in succession are stored;
the m data items are divided into n portions, where the data items in each portion have respectively been received at successive times and where m and n are natural numbers and the following applies to m and n;
m>
n, m>
1, n>
1;
the n portions are respectively correlated to expected values to form component correlation results;
the component correlation results are respectively delayed, with at least two component correlation results being delayed by different lengths;
the delayed component correlation results are combined to form a total correlation value; and
the total correlation value is used to determine whether the m received data items contain the preamble of a frame, for synchronizing the receiver.

Abstract
A method is disclosed, including identifying a preamble in a frame, where the preamble has a preamble length 1. M data items received in succession are stored. The m data items once divided into n portions, where the data items in each portion have respectively been received at successive times and where m and n are natural numbers and the following applies to m and n: m>n, m>1, n>1. The n portions are respectively correlated to the expected values to form component correlation results. Delaying the component correlation results, with at least two component correlation results being delayed by different lengths. The method also includes combining the delayed component correlation results to form a total correlation value. The total correlation value is used to determine whether the m received data items contain the preamble of a frame.

12. A circuit for identifying a preamble having a preamble length 1 in a frame, which has the following:
-
a memory configured to store m successively received data items;
n component correlators where each component correlator respectively correlates a portion of the data items stored in the memory to expected values and outputs the result of this correlation on an output, and where the respective data items from the portion of the data items have been received in succession;
at least one combiner which combines output signals from a plurality of component correlators, with the output signals from at least two component correlators being delayed by different lengths; and
a decision block which receives at least one output signal from the combiner and indicates whether the preamble is present in the received data items. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
