Method and device for the detection of a pulse of a signal

A receiver device for the detection of a pulse of a signal received by said receiver device, said received signal corresponding to data emitted with a predetermined period Tc, each piece of data being encoded by a presence or an absence of a pulse, wherein said receiver device comprises a processing circuit configured to:

• temporally offset the received signal according to a predetermined number Ns of delays corresponding to different multiples of Tc, in such a way as to generate Ns delayed signals,
• correlate, at a time that is a candidate for the detection of a pulse, the received signal with each of the delayed signals, in such a way as to obtain Ns correlation values associated with said candidate time,
• calculate a maximum correlation value among the Ns correlation values associated with the candidate time,
• detect a pulse of the received signal according to said maximum correlation value.
