    Abstract: A receiver configured to receive a frequency-modulated transmission having a preamble and a corresponding method are provided, the receiver having a buffer coupled to an input terminal for receiving the transmission, a time-to-frequency transformer coupled to the buffer, an energy aggregator coupled to the transformer, a preamble detector coupled to the aggregator, and a symbol synchronizer coupled to the detector; the method including receiving a sequence of time-domain frequency-modulated samples, transforming the sequence of time-domain samples into a spectrum of frequency-domain data, and matching an actual energy distribution over a plurality of discrete frequencies in the frequency-domain data with an expected energy distribution of the preamble to determine frequency error.
