A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11927679B2) discloses a method for synchronizing an encoded signal by receiving an input signal with known sequences of bits, determining logical sequences based on cross-product operations and logical operations, and identifying the position of the logical sequences within the input signal. The method involves aligning signal components in time, performing exclusive-OR operations, and comparing logical sequences to achieve synchronization.

Furthermore, the patent includes claims for a receiver comprising a receiving unit and a processing unit, where the processing unit determines logical sequences and identifies positions within the input signal. Additionally, the patent covers tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media storing instructions for executing operations related to synchronizing an encoded signal. Overall, the patent details a comprehensive method and system for efficiently synchronizing signals, particularly in the context of global navigation satellite systems, by utilizing known sequences and logical operations.
