Abstract

In burst digital transmission using PSK (phase shift keying) modulation with coherent detection, the recovery of the carrier reference phase and the symbol clock is a key aspect. If all users have a common clock synchronization, symbol timing needs not to be recovered in each burst. A digital processor for carrier recovery without preambles, in the presence of frequency offset, is considered. As an example, a 2 Mb/s QPSK transmission system is considered in which E _b/N_o=10 dB, and the burst and estimation interval length L=15. Using the algorithm described and averaging eight successive estimated frequency offsets, in order to eliminate anomalous errors, the BER (bit error rate) degradation is equal to 0.14 dB when Δf=20 kHz
