Oversampled multiple-correlator symbol synchronization

Methods, systems, and devices for a wakeup receiver operation is described. A receiver may include a conversion circuit that converts an RF signal to a baseband signal, where the baseband signal comprise a set of symbols received at a symbol rate. The receiver may include an analog-to-digital converter that converts the baseband signal to samples at a sample rate greater than the symbol rate. The receiver may include a set of correlators, each correlator of the set may receive a respective subset of the samples of the baseband signal and generate a respective output. The receiver may include a compare circuit that receives the respective outputs from the set of correlators and compares the respective outputs with a threshold, where the compare circuit also generates a wakeup command based at least in part on at least one output of the respective outputs satisfying the threshold.
