A receiver for a wireless local area network, WLAN, having a low power listening mode of operation. The receiver includes two separate paths in the analog front end, AFE. One path includes a low resolution and low power analog to digital converter, ADC. The other path includes a high resolution and high power ADC. In listen mode, only the low resolution ADC is powered and provides inputs to a packet detector for identifying a barker code. When the correct barker code is received, the high resolution ADC is enabled and coupled to a receiver for receiving a payload in the data packet.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for frequency offset estimation and interleaver synchronization, using periodic signature sequences, such as Barker codes. The periodic signature sequence is used for interleaver synchronization or frequency offset estimation or both. The periodic signature sequence is transmitted over a certain number of bins in both the upper and lower sides of the DAB signal. Since the signature sequences are assigned to specific bins known to the receiver, any shift of the correlated peak from the expected location due to frequency offset errors can be estimated by the frequency offset algorithm. If the Barker sequence is placed, for example, in the last column of the DAB interleaver, the location of the Barker sequence upon correlation of the received digital signal identifies the beginning of an interleaver block. A Barker sequence is transmitted over a signature frame every L data frames on each side band, where L is generally the number of OFDM frames that can fill the interleaver memory. If the maximum frequency offset is M, then the frequency offset algorithm utilizes a search window of size n+2M (between bins N−M through N+n+M), and attempts to maintain the Barker sequence in the center of the search window. At the receiver, the Barker sequence is mapped to the OFDM signature bins that do not belong to uncertainty regions (the group of bins that can fall out of the receiver processing range for maximum positive and negative frequency offset values). Thus, the Barker sequence bins are processed by the disclosed receiver as long as the frequency offset does not exceed the specified maximum frequency offset.

Very efficient sidelobe suppression of Barker codes is achieved through the use of a mismatched filter, which is comprised of a conventional matched filter cascaded with a computationally efficient filter based on multiplicative expansion. Several constant parameters are introduced in the terms of the expansion and are optimized to improve the performance of the filter. Optimized mismatched filters for length 13, 11, 7 and 5 Barker codes are presented. For each of these codes, filters with one, two and three stages are studied. The technique is extended to compound Barker codes based on their representation in a factored form in the z-domain. Hardware requirements for the filters discussed in the disclosure are also presented.
