Abstract: Detection method and device for a receiver in a digital communication system designed to process a frame comprising a periodic sub-set of length n, said method comprising the following steps:—determining a first vector u having a length n;—determining a second shifted vector v;—calculating a correlation function between said first and second vectors;—calculating a quadratic error function between said first and second vectors;—calculating a first cost function that is a linear combination of both preceding functions and, according to the sign of the result,—calculating a second cost function of frame beginning estimate; and—starting the communication system receiver.

Abstract: A receiver for a digital data transmission device for receiving a digital signal and comprising a free sampler physically taking samples rk of a received signal r(t) at a frequency at least equal to twice the received signal spectrum maximum frequency. A digital interpolator allows to derive a sequence of samples Xk calculated from said physical samples, according to a tuning parameter ?. An equalizer adjustable to a set of equalization parameters e allows to process said interpolator output samples Xk. A computing unit simultaneously provides, in a single processing, values of ? to the digital interpolator and values of the equalization parameters e to the digital equalizer. The invention also provides a method for digitally processing a received signal in a digital transmission device.

Abstract: A device for automatically converting a digital sample sequence X(n) inputted at a first frequency fe and converted into an output digital sample sequence Y(m) at a second frequency fs which is smaller than fe. An interpolator-decimator assembly having a decimation rate equal to &ggr;, selected so as to correspond to the frequency offset fe/fs is based on a polyphased filter having p tables of q elements each, said filter being designed such that samples X(n) are input at the fe frequency and table components are activated according to clocking of a second clock derived from the fe clock and wherein one clock pulse is removed.

A digital interpolator allows to derive a sequence of samples Xk calculated from said physical samples, according to a tuning parameter &tgr;. An equalizer adjustable to a set of equalization parameters e allows to process said interpolator output samples Xk. A computing unit simultaneously provides, in a single processing, values of &tgr; to the digital interpolator and values of the equalization parameters e to the digital equalizer.
