Abstract

The invention relates to a receiver and method for improving synchronisation. In the solution of the invention, a signal is received and filtered by a matched filter (500) or processed by a correlator (520). Two or more consecutive samples in the output of the matched filter or correlator are combined and re-sampled in such a manner that the re-sampling is done over as many samples as the combination, and one or more correlation peaks are found in the combined samples.

Claims

9CLAIMS
1. A method for improving synchronisation, which comprises receiving a signal, filtering the received signal by a matched filter (500), characterized in that the method further comprises combining and re-sampling two or more consecutive samples in the output of the matched filter in such a manner that the re-sampling is done over as many samples as the combining, and finding one or more correlation peaks in the combined samples.
