The synchronization process of the present invention filters the received signal with an adaptive band-pass filter (101) while buffering the received signal in memory (108). The energies of the input signal and the filtered signal are estimated (103 and 104) and the gain of the filter is adapted (105) based on the difference between the energies. The pole of the filter is adapted (102) to center the frequency of the input signal in the filter's pass-band. If a tone is detected (106) the length of the, tone is determined (107) to ascertain if it is a frequency correction burst (FCB). If the tone detected is an FCB the signal in, the memory is also the FCB that is then filtered in the …

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 11, 1991 and granted February 25, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 11, 2011.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 11, 2013.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
