Abstract
Adaptive multi-standard signal classification and synchronization is disclosed. Devices, systems and methods include an auto-correlation bank and a signal classifier to efficiently and reliably distinguish signals of wireless protocols, such as Bluetooth, 1 megabit-per-second (Mbps) Bluetooth low energy (BLE), 2 Mbps BLE, long range (LR) BLE, ZigBee (ZB), high-rate ZB, and so on. The auto-correlation bank includes a set of auto-correlators with different delays, which facilitate distinguishing between the different wireless protocols. Exemplary aspects can further distinguish and/or compensate for interference sources, such as WiFi, constant wave (CW) clock sources, and so on. In some examples, a frequency offset of an incoming signal can be output for further signal processing. In a parallel path, a cross-correlation circuit facilitates synchronization to the incoming signal based on a signal type identified by the signal classifier.
