  • Abstract
    The constraints of digital satellite communications systems have led to the derivation of a method for resolving the problem of recovered-carrier phase ambiguity in a coherent fourphase phase-shift-keying (PSK) communications system while simultaneously providing synchronization information. This method is described for the general case and a general implementation is given. In addition, implementations are given for two particularly simple special cases.
