A Bluetooth receiver has an RF front end which has a gain control input, the RF front end converting wireless packets into a baseband signal which is coupled to the input of an analog to digital converter (ADC). A clock generator provides a clock coupled to the ADC, and an AGC processor performs an AGC process to provide a gain which places the baseband symbols in a range that is less than 90% of the input dynamic range of the ADC. When in a connected state, the clock generator provides a clock which is slower than is required to complete the AGC process during a preamble interval, and the AGC process uses a few initial bits of the address field. The remaining bits of the address field is compared with the corresponding address bits of the receiver to determine whether to receive the packet.

Examples provide a device, an apparatus, a method, a computer program, a receiver, a mobile terminal and a base station. An interference detection device (10) is configured to generate an auxiliary interference signal for a multi-carrier receive signal. The device (10) comprises a generator (12) configured to generate a plurality of oscillator signals. The plurality of oscillator signals comprises at least a first oscillator signal with a first local oscillator frequency. The plurality of oscillator signals further comprises a second oscillator signal with a second local oscillator frequency. The device (10) further comprises a plurality of subsequent mixers. A first mixer (14) is configured to mix the multi-carrier receive signal with the first oscillator signal to output a first mixed signal. A second mixer (16) is configured to mix a second mixed signal with the second oscillator signal to output the auxiliary interference signal.

Decision feedback equalization (DFE) is used to help reduce inter-symbol interference (ISI) from a data signal received via a band-limited (or otherwise non-ideal) channel. A first PAM-4 DFE architecture has low latency from the output of the samplers to the application of the first DFE tap feedback to the input signal. This is accomplished by not decoding the sampler outputs in order to generate the feedback signal for the first DFE tap. Rather, weighted versions of the raw sampler outputs are applied directly to the input signal without further analog or digital processing. Additional PAM-4 DFE architectures use the current symbol in addition to previous symbol(s) to determine the DFE feedback signal. Another architecture transmits PAM-4 signaling using non-uniform pre-emphasis. The non-uniform pre-emphasis allows a speculative DFE receiver to resolve the transmitted PAM-4 signals with fewer comparators/samplers.

In a signal detection apparatus, a quadrature detection circuit subjects a reception signal to quadrature detection. An intensity detection circuit detects a signal intensity by referring to an absolute value of an amplitude of a signal subjected to quadrature detection. A zero cross detection circuit detects the number of times of zero crosses of the signal in a predetermined period of time that is based on a modulation index of the reception signal. A signal determination circuit that determines that the signal is the reception signal when the signal intensity is equal to or higher than a threshold value and the number of times of zero crosses is within a predetermined range.
