In one implementation, a receiver has a module to calculate the cross-correlation between a portion of a digital representation of a received signal and a reference signal. The receiver also has a module to generate an estimate of a portion of a message potentially included in the digital representation of the received signal and a screening module to determine the likelihood that the received signal includes a message. For a received signal that is determined likely to include a message, the receiver includes a carrier refinement module to shift the frequency of carrier pulses in the digital representation of the received signal toward a desired frequency and to align the phase of carrier pulses in the digital representation of the received signal with a desired phase and a coherent matched filter to recover the message from the digital representation of the received signal.

A method and an apparatus are provided for improving a carrier to noise density ratio (CNO) of a matched filter. A signal is received at a signal register of the matched filter. A local code is received at a local code register and a nulling register of the matched filter. An adder tree of the matched filter correlates the signal register and the local code register with respect to the nulling register to obtain a correlation result. The nulling register prevents high frequency samples of the signal register from affecting the correlation result.
