In an FSK modulated signal receiving station a synchronization sub-system is arranged to sample the received signal and to select one sample per symbol within a detection window having a finite length, said samples being selected at predeterined instants. This produces a number of versions of the sampled signal and these different versions of the signal are then processed in parallel to determine the signal timing and the signal frequency offset.

Method and apparatus for the synchronization of a signal receiving

A symbol-level pipelined structure for parallel systolic decoding of block codes which is a layered processor structure including a number of layers equal to the code length and each layer is adapted to decode the component codes of a concatenated code in sequence. The structure described provides efficient high rate decoding operation with an associated low cost and low hardware complexity.
