Carrier Recovery

  • Chapter
Digital Communication

Abstract

In passband systems, the carrier frequency is generated in the transmitter from a local timing reference such as a crystal oscillator. As we saw in chapters 6 and 8, coherent demodulation of a passband signal requires exactly the same carrier frequency and phase to perform the demodulation. But the receiver usually has an independent timing reference, as illustrated in figure 13–1. Deriving the carrier frequency and phase from the data bearing signal is the topic of this chapter.
