Abstract

Apparatus in a receiver (109) and analogous method for detecting or acquiring a timing reference or error for a data signal, including a receiver front end (201) for receiving a sequence of symbols, and a signal processor (218) programmed to correlate, using a recursive procedure, the sequence of symbols to a predetermined sequence of symbols to provide a correlated magnitude corresponding to a timing error (212) and then adjust a timing reference in accordance with the timing error.
