Abstract
A signal detector for detecting at least a first signal having a first frequency and a first minimum duration is provided. The signal detector includes a matched transform unit and an energy level detection unit. The matched transform unit is adapted to receive at least a first frame of time domain input samples at a sampling frequency and generate at least a first frequency energy value for the first frame based on at least a first subset of the time domain input samples. The first subset of the first frame has a width of less than about one half of the first minimum duration. The energy level threshold unit is adapted to compare the first frequency energy value to a threshold energy value to determine the presence of the first signal. A method for detecting at least a first signal having a first frequency and a first minimum duration is provided. The method includes receiving at least a first frame of time domain input samples at a sampling frequency. At least a first frequency energy value is generated for the first frame based on at least a first subset of the time domain input samples. The first subset of the first frame has a width of less than about one half of the first min…
