    Abstract: Various aspects of this disclosure describe detecting a signal and measuring power with a multi-band filter. Examples include a signal detection and power measurement module in a receiver capable of detecting a training signal and calculating a reliable power measurement in the presence of narrowband interference. A received signal is filtered by a multi-band filter comprising a plurality of sub-band filters. For instance, sub-band filters may be bandpass filters with non-overlapping pass-bands. A training signal is detected by comparing powers of each of the outputs of the sub-band filters to a plurality of thresholds. For example, each sub-band may be assigned a different threshold value. Responsive to detecting a training signal, a power measurement is determined from at least one sub-band filter output. A gain is set based on the determined power measurement, and applied in the receiver.
