<p>A method of detecting the data rate of a received digital signal is provided. The method generally includes the steps of decoding a received signal at each of a plurality of possible rates to produce a plurality of decoded bit sequences and a corresponding plurality of correlation metrics, one for each of the plurality of different rates. Quality checks are performed on the plurality of decoded bit sequences producing a plurality of quality check indication signals, one for each of the plurality of different rates. The pluralities of correlation metrics and quality check indication signals are analyzed and the data rate of the received signal is determined based on a novel decision process.</p> |
