Abstract
An apparatus and method for guard interval detection in a multi-carrier receiver has been disclosed. According to the present invention, the apparatus and method are employed for determining a guard interval length of an input signal to be one of a plurality of available guard interval lengths. The apparatus of the present invention includes an auto-correlator, a power density calculator and a maximum detector. The auto-correlator is used to generate a correlation result in response to the input signal, and the power density calculator is used to generate a plurality of power density results in response the correlation result and the available guard interval lengths. The maximum detector is employed to generate a determination result in response to the maximum value of the plurality of power density results.
