Abstract

A method for processing a radio signal includes producing first and second streams of audio samples; decimating the first and second streams of audio samples to produce first and second streams of decimated streams of audio samples; estimating a first offset value between corresponding samples in the first and second streams of decimated streams of audio samples; shifting one of the first and second streams of audio samples by a first shift value; decimating the first and second streams of audio samples to produce third and fourth streams of decimated audio samples; estimating a second offset value; determining a final offset value based on an intersection of ranges of valid results of the first and second offset values; and shifting one of the first and second streams of audio samples by the final offset value to align the first and second streams of audio samples.
