Abstract:
A receiver for receiving a digital transmission, said digital transmission composed of a sequence of consecutive bits, said sequence of consecutive bits forming a plurality of frames, each of said frames having a frame start, said receiver comprising:a clock for generating pulses at time intervals with respect to a time reference; a counter for counting said time intervals with respect to said time reference thus generating a count for said frame start, said count indicative of time of detection of said frame start with respect to said time reference; a synchronizer that generates a pointer, said pointer generated from a plurality of said counts, said pointer indicative of a projected time interval during which a future frame start is expected to arrive, wherein said digital transmission is sampled to extract said sequence of consecutive bits using said pulses from said clock and wherein said count indicative of time of detection of said frame start is initiated by a cyclic prefix correlator.
