  • Method and device for blind dehopping
    Patent number: 7924903
    Abstract: A method and device are disclosed for real-time characterization of frequency-hopping networks, in which the signal to be characterized is converted into a digital signal and the frequency characteristics of the signal are determined. A frequency hop is sought for synchronization with the start of the transmission. The frequency is tracked and the central frequency Fc of the required transmission channel is sought. A delay is applied to the digitized samples during the tracking phase. The samples corresponding to the signal step are determined on the basis of the delayed samples and the identified central frequency.
