Apparatus, and a related method, for fast carrier acquisition in a modem. The apparatus includes circuitry to speed carrier acquisition by the determination of which of two alternate phasors is being received during a baud synchronization period of a signal preamble before data transmission. Another aspect of the invention involves the use of a complex matched filter for the determination of the start of an equalizer training sequence in the signal preamble. The output of the matched filter exhibits a deep null at the start of the training sequence, since the beginning of the sequence bears an inverse relationship to the end of the preceeding baud synchronization period.
