Abstract

Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for reduced clock rate data processing. As an example, a circuit is disclosed that includes a matched filter bank that receives a series of symbols at a rate corresponding to a sample clock. The matched filter bank includes a first matched filter tuned to detect a first bit sequence in the series of symbols and to assert a first symbol proxy upon detection of the first bit sequence, and a second matched filter tuned to detect a second bit sequence in the series of symbols and to assert a second symbol proxy upon detection of the second bit sequence. The circuit further includes a detector circuit that processes a series of symbol proxies including the first symbol proxy and the second symbol proxy at a rate corresponding to a reduced rate clock. The reduced rate clock is the sample clock divided by a factor.
