Abstract
A method and corresponding apparatus for error correction of MSK-coded data receives a signal (101) partitionable into adjacent frames (111,113) each subdividable into three tridents (103, 105, 107). A first sample quality metric (225) applicable to a p (123) of the signal (101) associated with a last trident (107) of the tridents of a first frame (111) of the adjacent frames (111, 113) is synthesized, and a second sample quality metric (227) applicable to a portion (125) of the signal (101) associated with a first trident (103') of the tridents of a second frame (113) following the first frame (111) is synthesized. Each of the first and second sample quality metrics (225, 227) have a magnitude dependent on a time that the associated portion (123) of the signal (101) has a magnitude exceeding an average magnitude (127) of the signal (101). A corrected polarity (113) of the portion of the signal (101) associated with the last trident (107) of the tridents of the first frame (111) is determined dependent on a sample quality metric having a greater magnitude of the first sample quality metric (225) and the second sample quality metric (227).
