Abstract:
The disclosure relates to pattern detection unit and associated method. The unit comprises a shift register configured to over-sample a multi-bit input signal such that each bit of the input signal is represented by a plurality of samples in the shift register; and a correlator configured to compare a target pattern with two or more sample-sets, each sample-set comprising a corresponding sample from each of the plurality of samples of each bit, and classify each compared sample-set as one of: an exact match; an inexact match; or a non-match to the target pattern in order to determine whether or not the input signal matches the target pattern.

Claim (Index 10):
The pattern detection unit of  claim 9 , in which the correlator comprises:\n a first plurality of bit-comparison-units, each bit-comparison-unit configured to compare a first sample of a particular bit from the shift register with a corresponding bit-value of the target pattern and determine a first bit-comparison-value based on the comparison; a second plurality of bit-comparison-units, each bit-comparison-unit configured to compare a second sample of the particular bit from the shift register with a corresponding bit-value of the target pattern and determine a second bit-comparison-value based on the comparison; and a code-comparison-unit, wherein the code-comparison-unit is configured to:\n sum the first bit-comparison-value in order to determine a first-match-indication-signal that is representative of the number of samples in a first sample-set that match the corresponding bit-value of the target pattern; and \n sum the second bit-comparison-value in order to determine a second-match indication-signal that is representative of the number of samples in a second sample-set that match the corresponding bit-value of the target pattern.
