Abstract
Techniques to generate synchronization information from received signals in communication applications are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a method for generating synchronization information from received signals includes providing a fixed gain to a received analog signal to generate a modified analog signal, converting the modified analog signal to a digital signal, extracting one or more sign bits from the digital signal, and generating synchronization information as a function of the one or more sign bits. Various embodiments can be applied in several wireless and wired communication applications.
