  • Patent number: 6996371
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for aiding the analysis of signals by using symbols-based digital modulation. The device includes a signal memory for storing a complex digital signal, representative in amplitude and phase of a captured signal, over a chosen duration, as well as a processor for searching for the properties relating to the carrier frequency of the complex signal and to its modulation. According to the invention, the processor includes a projector for calculating the components of the complex signal in a function basis, the function basis being parameterized according to an estimated tempo of the modulation, as well as a calculator, operating on these components so as to determine an estimate relating to a property of the complex signal, from among its elementary pulse shape, the string of symbols of the complex signal and its carrier.
