ABSTRACT:
A method of synchronizing a feedforward filter that receives a signal resulting from the transmission of a series of symbols through a channel, wherein the series of symbols includes a predetermined sequence of symbols includes the step of developing a plurality of samples from the received symbols, wherein a sequence of samples corresponds to the predetermined sequence of symbols. The method may further include the steps of estimating a channel impulse response from the plurality of samples, wherein the channel impulse response estimate is represented by a plurality of correlation values, identifying a maximum correlation value from the plurality of correlation values, defining a window relative to the maximum correlation value, calculating a characteristic of the correlation values within the window, and synchronizing the feedforward filter in accordance with the characteristic.
