Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 19:
20. A method of determining a noise-robust acquisition configuration for operation of a communication system, comprising performing a noise scan, the noise scan comprising:
obtaining a receive signal from the communication system without a stimulus signal being applied to the communication system;
determining a digital receive signal from the receive signal by A/D conversion of the receive signal at a predefined noise scan frequency;
determining a plurality of decimated digital receive signals by integer decimation of the digital receive signal using two or more decimation rates that differ from each other, wherein respective ones of the two or more decimation rates are associated with a respective one of multiple candidate acquisition configurations for the communication system;
in response to determining the plurality of decimated digital receive signals, determining one or more noise measures for multiple candidate acquisition configurations by evaluating one or more of the plurality of decimated digital receive signals; and
using the one or more noise measures, determining the acquisition configuration for operation of the communication system from the multiple candidate acquisition configurations; wherein
determining the acquisition configuration comprises selecting a preferred noise measure from the one or more noise measures and selecting a first candidate acquisition configuration of the candidate acquisition configurations, which first candidate acquisition configuration is associated with the preferred noise measure as the acquisition configuration.
