Abstract

A threshold detector for digital signal transmission systems using a transmission channel, in particular for transmission to mobiles, calculates a set of coefficients f.sub.n belonging to the group comprising a set of coefficients c.sub.n of the correlation between a first series of digital samples x.sub.n received by the receiver and a second series of reference digital samples p.sub.n known to the receiver, in order to acquire synchronization of the system, and a set of coefficients h.sub.n of an estimate of the impulse response of the transmission channel, when the system is already synchronized. It also calculates a decision variable A such that: ##EQU1## where L and N are predetermined integers. The device has many applications in mobile radio systems, for example for acquisition of synchronization in DS-CDMA systems or for optimizing the transmission channel estimate.
