Abstract
Detecting timing of a synchronization sequence included in a data stream transmitted in a noisy channel. The synchronization sequence is a known data sequence purposely injected into the data stream for synchronization. A data stream waveform, is obtained from a noisy communication channel. The data stream waveform includes an instance of a synchronization sequence waveform. One or more samples of the synchronization sequence waveform are obtained. One or more samples of a model synchronization sequence waveform are obtained. The model synchronization sequence waveform models an expected waveform for the synchronization sequence being transmitted on the communication channel by applying the synchronization sequence to a model of the communication channel. The instance of the synchronization sequence waveform is correlated with the model synchronization sequence waveform by correlating one or more samples of the synchronization sequence waveform with the one or more samples of the model synchronization sequence waveform.
