    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a receiver of modulated signals comprises a signal mixer, a synchronization detector, and a data demodulator. The signal mixer is configured to perform baseband down-conversion of a signal according to a mixer frequency, the signal including a synchronization header and a data payload. The synchronization detector is configured to: generate a differential signal based on the signal, perform cross-correlation of the differential signal with a reference differential signal to generate a cross-correlation output, and analyze the cross-correlation output to detect an end of the synchronization header. The data demodulator is configured to demodulate the data payload in response to detection of the end of the synchronization header.

    Abstract: A receiver of a modulated signal includes a synchronization detector configured to receive a signal indicative of the modulated signal and to detect an end of the synchronization header in the signal. The synchronization detector is configured to generate a differential signal based on the signal, perform cross-correlation of the differential signal with a reference differential signal to generate a cross-correlation output, compare a first sample of the cross-correlation output at a sample index associated with a hypothesized start frame delimiter (SFD) peak index with a second sample of the cross-correlation output at a sample index associated with a hypothesized preamble peak index, and detect an end of the synchronization header in response to a comparison result in which a magnitude of the first sample of the cross-correlation output is greater than a magnitude of the second sample of the cross-correlation output.
