Fully digital joint phase recovery, timing synchronization and data sequence demodulation

Abstract

A joint estimator for carrier phase, symbol timing, and data sequence is proposed. This fully digital scheme is systematically derived from the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) theory. The simulation and the analytical results demonstrate that the scheme is asymptotical to the optimum in AWGN channel. 0-7803-3682-8196 $5.00 0 1996 IEEE
