Abstract

The coherent detection of a digitally modulated signal requires that the transmitter and the receiver are synchronized to each other. Synchronization is an important requirement in the context of digital communications systems, where several levels of synchronization must be established before data recovery can take place successfully. We provide here a simple overview of various techniques applicable to the task of synchronization in this chapter. It includes an overview of some traditional methods of carrier and timing synchronization, often based on analog electronic circuit realizations, and carries on to introduce timing synchronization structures, sampling schemes, and timing error detectors more suited to contemporary implementations of all-digital receivers.
