Patent ID: 8175202

Claim:
A receive path in a receiver comprising: means for deriving at least a first stream of first digitized samples from a received analog signal at a first sampling rate, at least one interpolating filter in parallel with the first stream of first digitized samples for generating at least a second stream of second digitized samples from the first stream of first digitized samples at the first sampling rate but offset with respect to the first stream by a fraction of a sample time period, means for selecting a first sampling point associated with the first stream of first digitized samples and at least a second sampling point associated with the at least second stream of second digitized samples, and for providing a selected first or at least second stream of the first and at least second streams of digitized samples and a respective sampling point to a demodulator, the demodulator for demodulating at least first and second symbols from the selected first or at least second stream of digitized samples based on the respective sampling point, and means for determining a value indicative of how accurately the demodulator demodulated the first and second symbols and for outputting a signal, and wherein the means for selecting is adapted to alter at least one of the first and the at least a second sampling points based on the signal.
