    Abstract: A technique for reducing or eliminating effects of frequency and phase offset in a communications system includes implementing a demodulator having a Kalman filter based phase-locked loop for phase-shift keying or quadrature amplitude modulated signals. In an acquisition mode of operation, the Kalman filter based phase-locked loop continuously updates an error correction signal until an error between a received version of a predetermined signal transmitted using phase-shift keying or quadrature amplitude modulation and the predetermined signal is at or near zero. In a tracking mode of operation, the Kalman filter based phase-locked loop adjusts the error correction signal to maintain the error between the received signal and a predicted signal at or near zero.

    Abstract: A cluster correlator may be configured with: a first stage comprising a set of first correlators to correlate samples of an input signal with a first predetermined pattern and output an output sample, the set of first correlators to output a sample cluster corresponding to the output sample of the set of first correlators during a switching cycle of the first stage; a filter coupled to an output of the first stage to receive the sample cluster and to produce a processed output sample based on the sample cluster; and a second stage comprising at least one second correlator to receive a processed output sample from the filter and correlate the processed output sample with a second predetermined pattern, and output one or more correlation outputs during a switching cycle of the second stage.
