Abstract
A signal receiver includes a sampling device for sampling a received signal carrying a stream of symbols to form a first set of actual samples. The signal receiver also includes interpolation means for interpolating between the samples of the first set to form a second set of interpolated samples. The signal receiver also includes symbol recovery means configured to process the first and second sets of samples so as to form an estimate of the symbols of the signal. The processing includes performing a temporal whitening step on signals derived from first and second sets of samples. The signal receiver also includes signal combining means using a matched filter and averaging technique.
