Method of synchronizing to a signal

摘要

A method of synchronizing to a signal includes first performing a rough synchronization and then a fine synchronization to a sync word. The fine synchronization includes comparing a stored portion of the sync word to a received portion. By adjusting the timing and then performing additional correlations, the timing for the best correlation can be obtained. The bit clock is then adjusted so that subsequent data samples can be taken as close to bit center as possible.
