Thanks Brian, A matched filter is just a FIR filter that does correlation because the coefficients are a specific sequence instead of a frequency response. This is how CDMA works. You "spread" your one bit out over this PN sequence and then use a matched filter to correlate against the expect

You can't go lower than the PHY layer. There's a reason it's the lowest on the stack. Yeah, stupid comment by me ;) You can use a matched filter for this, but a generalized matched filter uses multipliers. If you limited yourself to GMSK, PSK, or QAM you can get away with sign manipulation

You're not getting rid of the PHY layer. You're incorporating this mechanism into the PHY layer as opposed to having it within the MAC layer. I see, I want to go lower than the PHY layer really... You can accomplish this by using some simple sign manipulation/zero insertion and treating t

I don't think I understand what you're trying to do here. What frames were you transmitting? What pattern are you looking for? Do you hope on performing this operation in the FPGA or on the host? Sorry for my confusion. No problem, I don't mind trying to be clear :) Here's an *example*

Lets say for a TDMA MAC, there is a beaconing time that happens every 50ms for 1 ms and a 200us guard time between beacons for a specified number of radios. Can you setup a USRP to transmit some data every 50ms, and have a second USRP lock on to that periodic 50ms transmission and be sure to be
