Abstract
A method is for processing a channel analog signal coming from a transmission channel. The method may include converting the channel analog signal into a channel digital signal, and detecting a state of the transmission channel based on the channel digital signal to detect whether the transmission channel is, over an interval of time, one or more of linear and time invariant and linear and cyclostationary.

1-46. (canceled)
A receiver comprising:
- an input stage to be coupled to a transmission channel and configured to deliver a channel analog signal from the transmission channel;
- an analog/digital converter configured to convert the channel analog signal into a channel digital signal;
- and
- a processor configured to perform at least one detection phase for detecting a state of the transmission channel based on the channel digital signal to detect whether the transmission channel is, over an interval of time, at least one of linear and time invariant (LTI), and linear and cyclostationary.
