Patent number: 6389088Abstract: There is disclosed a bit sync search and frame sync search system operative with a digital data signal as transmitted by a digital radio transmitter. The bit search is implemented by detecting a predetermined phasing signal which is incorporated in the digital signal and which has a repetitive bit pattern of ones and zeroes. The phasing signal is first detected by providing an in-phase and quadrature component signal and correlating those signals to provide an output signal indicative of the bit pattern in the phasing signal. After the phasing signal has been provided and an oscillator associated with a receiving apparatus is compensated according to the detected phasing signal, a tracking mode is entered, whereby a frame signal is captured and the system generates histograms of data bit transitions for producing an error signal indicative of the difference of the transmitted clock rate and the sampling portion of a received bit.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2000Date of Patent: May 14, 2002Assignee: ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Gary Vincent Blois, Joseph Michael Fine, Marvin A.
