Abstract

An architecture and method for flexible preamble processing is disclosed herein. The preamble processing engine detects a code sequence in input, where the code sequence is a sum of a first code sequence and a second code sequence The preamble processing engine includes a data input line, a code input line, a despreader, and a plurality of memory registers. The code input selectively receives the first code sequence or the second code sequence, the first code sequence having a period longer than a period for the second code sequence. The despreader is coupled to the data input line and the code input line. The despreader producing a despread result between the first code sequence and the input data. Lastly, the plurality of memory registers, which are coupled to the despreader, each stores only a portion of the despread results.
