Abstract: A frequency specific receiver and method can receive a transmitted polarized carrier signal wave, the carrier signal wave having a carrier frequency, encoding one or more data bits, includes a synchronization filter to determine a reference time at 0? of the carrier signal wave from a forward wave received at a forward antenna element and a rear wave received at a rear antenna element, positioned apart from one another by a distance of ¼ wavelength of the transmitted carrier signal wave and oriented in a polarization direction of the transmitted carrier signal wave. A first A/D converter samples the forward wave at ?/2, ?, 3?/2 and 2? radians and a second A/D converter samples the rear wave at ?/2, ?, 3?/2 and 2? radians. A control processor decodes a value of the encoded data bit by calculation of an average computation and a calculation of a correlation computation.
