Abstract
A system for synchronizing a wireless receiver is provided. The system includes a first antenna (101a) and a second antenna (101b) to receive wireless signals containing data packets. The system includes one or more analyzer components (156) operable to determine correlation metrics based on at least a portion of the first received signal and a portion of the second received signal. The system further includes a synchronization component (158) operable to use the correlation metrics to determine a preferred correlation metric for synchronization by the wireless receiver of the first and second received signals to decode the data packet. A method for synchronizing a receiver of two wireless signals is also provided.
