Carrier Frequency Recovery with Linear Modulations

  • Chapter
Synchronization Techniques for Digital Receivers

Part of the book series: Applications of Communications Theory ((ACTH))

Abstract

A frequency recovery system accomplishes two basic functions: (i) it derives an estimate v̂ of the carrier frequency offset; (ii) it compensates for this offset by counter-rotating the received waveform r(t) at an angular speed 2πv̂. In the ensuing discussion we distinguish between two major cases [1]:

  1. (i)

    the offset is much smaller than 1/T,

  2. (ii)

    the offset is on the order of the symbol rate 1/T.
