Method for receiving a signal in a digital radio frequency communication system

摘要

The method includes acquiring a signal (501); inputting (502), at a first time, a received symbol to a demodulator having a plurality of outputs to produce a set of early outputs; inputting (504), at a second time, the received symbol to the demodulator to produce a set of on-time outputs; inputting (505), at a third time, the received symbol to the demodulator to produce a set of late outputs; and comparing (506) at least one output in the set of early outputs with at least one output in the set of late outputs to produce a timing measure.
