Hey Dean, For what it’s worth, I’ve resorted to two hacks. 1) where the sum of consecutive correlation mag squared samples is compared to 4*detection, I’ve gone to 8*detection. With the block threshold set to 0.999999, this results in threshold levels (compared to the peak correlation value) of 32 to 78 %. 2) I added a variable to track the max cross-correlation magnitude for samples that exceed the 8*detection threshold. Then i compare those (peak) samples to that max/4 and those that are above, I let pass. I had to do the latter because I was seeing false correlations at the very end of my TDMA packets. I think they are due to the tx-to-rx transient I see with my B200mini. My thought is that the transient is slow (looks like a DC offset) and may create a false peak when part of it is convolved with the reference sync sequence. Anyway, implementing #2 made that problem go away. The other thought I have for my particular application is to disabled the Correlation Estimator (CE) when I know there will be no sync sequence. Since I have a TDMA system with a GPSDO/clock governing the slot scheme, I can generate an “enable” pulse from my MAC and use it to control the CE block. The big flaw with my approach in 1) and 2) is that I am not accounting for variable receive power such as you’d expect in a multi-radio TDMA system… first things first, though, gotta see packets received reliably under Tx constant power.
