Abstract
A TDMA receiver (100) has a limiting receiver path (116) for access bursts and a linear receiver path (117) for all other traffic and signalling bursts. Since the access bursts are not interleaved in typical TDMA digital cellular systems, such as the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) digital cellular system, the loss of amplitude information is not detrimental to acceptable access burst error rates in the TDMA receiver (100) implementation. The TDMA receiver (100) determines the burst-type (either through a priori knowledge of the burst-type or dynamic determination of the burst-type) and a selector switch (124) chooses which receiver path (116, 117) is to be demodulated.
