Method 2: parallel acquisition in the frequency domain

In this scheme the vector r is extracted by the incoming SIS and multiplied by
obtaining the sequence
for each frequency bin. At this point the term

assumes the form of a Cross-Correlation Function (CCF), which can be evaluated by

means of a circular cross-correlation defined by
where DFT and IDFT stand for the well-known Discrete Fourier Transform and Inverse
Discrete Fourier Transform. It is easy to show that the CCF and the circular CCF coincide
only in presence of periodic sequences. This is the case when
except for the noise contribution and a residual term due to a double frequency

component contained in the term ql[n]. In the other frequency bins, the presence of a sinusoidal
component could alter the periodicity of the sequence.

Time parallel acquisition scheme: the CAF is determined by using a circular

convolution employing efficient FFTs.
