Abstract

See full text

The present invention is a method of synchronizing a digital receiver to a digital transmitter in both frequency and time using a novel ambiguity transformation. The ambiguity transform combines time correlation and spectrum synchronization into an integrated two-dimensional transform process. The ambiguity transform includes the steps of multiplying a reference sequence with a received signal to create a product signal, calculating the magnitude of the spectrum of the product signal, and determining the peak product signal. Through multiple iterations of the ambiguity transform, and time and frequency shifts, a digital receiver may be synchronized to a digital transmitter. The method of the present invention may be implemented using a digital signal processor (DSP).
