    Abstract: A method and apparatus to dynamically adjust parameters of a filter for a pilot signal. An incoming signal containing a pilot signal is filtered using non-identical filters, and the magnitudes of the filtered signals are compar ed to estimate a bandwidth of the pilot signal. Noise in the incoming signal ma y also be estimated, preferably from a portion of the incoming signal not expected to contain the pilot signal. Based on the comparison of the filtere d signal magnitudes, which may be compensated to remove the noise contribution , the parameters of a filter applied to the incoming signal to isolate the pil ot signal are varied. The parameters may vary the bandwidth of a pilot signal filter. The non-identical filters used in the pilot signal bandwidth estimation may be IIR or FIR filters having different passbands, or may be a correlation of the incoming signal with sinusoids of different frequencies.
