3. Introduction • Wireless communication has received much attention from researchers working on personal communication systems in recent years. • We have observed that in a digital communication system, the output of the demodulator must be sampled periodically, once per symbol interval, in order to recover the transmitted information.

4. Introduction (cont’) • Since the propagation delay from the transmitter to the receiver is generally unknown at the receiver, symbol timing must be derived from the received signal in order to synchronously sample the output of the demodulator. • The propagation delay in the transmitted signal also results in a carrier offset, which must be estimated at the receiver if the detector is phase-coherent.

5. Frequency error • Caused by mismatch of carrier and Doppler shift ω0+ Δω ΔωT ω0

6. Clock error • Caused by clock signal mismatch and Doppler shift → Correct sampling clock --> Incorrect sampling clock

7. Carrier Frequency Recovery • Carrier recovery is to synchronize the locally generated carrier with the carrier contained in the received input. • This can eliminate crosstalk between I and Q channel data, thus increasing output SNR.

8. Carrier Frequency Recovery (cont’) • QPSK Decision-Directed Costas Loop

9. Timing Recovery • To find the correct timing for sample-and-hold or integrate-and-dump devices in the receiver.

10. Timing Recovery (cont’) • Sample-Derivative Timing Recovery Loop

11. Implement • QPSK Transceiver Signal

12. Implement (cont’) • Carrier frequency offset and timing offset

13. Implement (cont’) • Carrier frequency recovery

14. Implement (cont’) • Sampling Recovery

15. Result ․QPSK Transceiver Signal

16. Result (cont’) • Carrier frequency offset and timing offset

17. Result (cont’) • Carrier frequency recovery

18. Result (cont’) • Sampling Recovery

19. Conclusion • Carrier recovery and timing synchronization are two topics that have been thoroughly investigated over the past three decades. • Symbol synchronization is required in every digital communication system which transmits information synchronously.
