Abstract

This chapter presents a range of timing-recovery schemes in more or less chronological order. The emphasis is on the manner in which timing information is extracted from the incoming signal. We refer back to Chapter 9 for a review of basics of timing recovery, and ahead to Chapter 11 for a treatment of PLLs. Each section of the chapter is devoted to a single category of schemes. An attempt has been made to make these treatments self-contained. The reader is encouraged to skip those sections that are of no concern to him. A selection may be based on the concise overview below, or on the introductions of the sections. To facilitate comparisons between schemes, the same notation is used throughout the chapter, and the same idealized recording channels are used for benchmarking purposes. Timing recovery has been a subject of active research for many years, and a vast array of techniques has evolved. Our coverage in this chapter does include some of the mainstream approaches, but is by no means complete. We recommend [22, 50, 44] and [36, Chapter 15] as starting points for further reading.
