In most wired and wireless systems, carrier tracking is an essential task that allows the
receiver to precisely synchronize with the carrier of the incoming signal. Stringent carrier …

This book uses a practical approach in the application of theoretical concepts to digital
communications in the design of software defined radio modems. This book discusses the …

A Bit synchronization, navigation message detection, and Doppler frequency removal
algorithm is developed to work at very low power signals. The core of the algorithm is based …

This paper presents a reduced-complexity maximum-likelihood sequence estimation
receiver, based on the Viterbi algorithm (VA), suitable for rapidly fading mobile …

A conventional receiver performs timing recovery and equalization separately. Specifically,
conventional timing recovery is based on a phase-locked loop that relies on the decision …

We propose a new iterative timing recovery scheme based on per-survivor processing that
jointly performs timing recovery and turbo equalization on partial response channels with …

1.1 A typical HDD for desktop computers (left)[1] can have up to 7 platters. Each platter
(right) has a write/read head of it's own which flies very close to the surface of the platter …

We consider least squares estimators of carrier phase and amplitude from a noisy
communications signal that contains both pilot signals, known to the receiver, and data …

Integrating adaptive modulation and coding techniques into time-varying meteor burst
channels with joint data detection and channel estimation at the receiver can greatly …

In recent years large scientific interest has been devoted to joint data decoding and
parameter estimation techniques. In this paper, iterative turbo decoding joint to channel …
