Abstract

A receiver includes a demodulator having a configurable correlator bank that helps with fast and robust signal detection. The demodulator detects arrival of a first preamble symbol using a first correlator bank configuration. The demodulator makes a course coarse frequency offset estimation after detection of the first preamble signal and the receiver adjusts a frequency used by a mixer based on the coarse frequency offset estimation. The demodulator confirms signal arrival detection with detection of a second preamble symbol. A coarse timing estimation is generated using a second correlator bank configuration using a multi-symbol observation period. A fine frequency offset estimation is made using a third correlation bank configuration. A fine timing estimation is made using a fourth correlation bank configuration. The demodulator then despreads received symbols using a fifth correlator bank configuration.
