Popis: In this paper we describe a superregenerative (SR) MSK receiver able to operate in a burst-mode framework where synchronization is required for each packet. The receiver is based on an SR oscillator which provides samples of the incoming instantaneous phase trajectories. We develop a simple yet effective technique to achieve joint chip and symbol synchronization within the time limits of a suitable preamble. We develop some general results and focus on the case of the IEEE 802.15.4 MSK physical layer. We provide details on a VHDL implementation on an FPGA where the most complex digital processing block is an accumulator. Simulation and experimental results are provided to validate the described technique.
