Abstract
A radio receiver device determines whether a digital radio signal includes a predetermined cyclic preamble. An input portion samples the digital radio signal and generates a plurality of samples for storage in a buffer. A first autocorrelator correlates first and second subsets of the samples to generate a first correlation metric, the second subset having been stored in the buffer earlier than said first subset by an even integer multiple of half of the preamble period. A second autocorrelator correlates first and third subsets of the plurality of samples to generate a second correlation metric, the third subset having been stored in the buffer earlier than said first subset by an odd integer multiple of half of the preamble period. A processing portion calculates a difference between the correlation metrics and determines that the radio signal includes the predetermined cyclic preamble when the difference is greater than a threshold value.
