<p>A method and apparatus for detection of a digital synchronisation word, or sequence of words, uses a state machine. The state diagram is implemented in a detector memory with feedback of the memory output through a latch to constitute part of the next memory address. The input data is used bit by bit as another part of the detector memory address. A decoder memory decodes the state information in the detector memory output and produces synchronisation information. A particular state diagram for sync acquisition includes feedback paths. A particular state diagram for lock maintenance enables lock to be maintained depending on the number of errors in the successive detected syne words.</p> |
