ABSTRACT:
An average tracking mechanism for a data communication receiver is provided. The average tracking mechanism of the receiver is connected to receive an input stream of data samples and is adapted to keep track of an average over a predefined number of most recently received data samples. The average tracking mechanism comprises a calculation unit that is adapted to calculate an approximate value of the average and a storage unit for storing calculated approximate values. The calculation unit is adapted to calculate the approximate value by retrieving a previously calculated approximate value from the storage unit and calculating a weighted sum of the retrieved approximate value and a current data sample. The average approximation technique may be used in a comb filter of a preamble detector in a WLAN receiver.
