Method and system for acquisition of a time stamped signal

摘要

The invention is directed to a method and system for acquisition of a time stamped signal burst while preserving timing information. A system for acquisition of a time stamped signal burst while preserving timing information. The system includes a first framer, an offset frequency compensator and a second framer. The first framer is for framing a buffered signal burst using least mean squares tuning to produce a first time stamp. The offset frequency compensator is for substantially removing a frequency offset from the first time stamp to produce a rough signal burst. The second framer is for framing the rough signal burst using least mean squares tuning to produce a fine signal burst arid a second time stamp, the second time stamp being more reliable than the first time stamp. A method system or acquisition of a time stamped signal burst while preserving timing information including the steps of framing using LMS and compensating for frequency offset. An advantage of the invention is increased reliability of the time stamp of the acquired signal burst.
