A method, system, and computer program product are provided for detecting at least one signal of interest within an input signal. At least one set of samples from the input signal is multiplied by at least one set of samples representing a complex conjugate of the input signal to obtain a series of correlation samples. Sets of one or more consecutive correlation samples are summed to obtain a series of pulse sums. A plurality of non-consecutive pulse sums are integrated to obtain a search value.
