Abstract
A method (500) of baud detection in a communication device (700) includes the steps of sorting phase pulses among overlapping sets of time slots (502) and counting phase pulses within each of the overlapping sets of time slots creating corresponding counter values (504). Then, counter values are compared with predetermined thresholds (506-512), wherein a baud pass condition (570) is met when at least one counter has a counter value exceeding an upper threshold and wherein a counter N/2 positions away has a counter value below a lower threshold. The baud pass condition may he further conditioned on meeting the requirement that at least another counter value falls below a middle threshold.
