Abstract
Repetitive synchronized signal events may be detected in received raw signal data that contains a signal. The type of signal, element length (or minimum interval) and/or other characteristics of such repetitive synchronized signal events may also be optionally determined. The disclosed methods and systems may be implemented for processing signals in real time as part of a receiver or transceiver system, or may be implemented by one or more computer processing components that are configured to process stored raw signal data or signal data received from another source, such as across a computer network.
