     * This block takes care of receiving generic modulated signals
     * through phase, frequency, and symbol synchronization. It
     * performs carrier frequency and phase locking as well as symbol
     * timing recovery.
     *
     * The phase and frequency synchronization are based on a Costas
     * loop that finds the error of the incoming signal point compared
     * to its nearest constellation point. The frequency and phase of
     * the NCO are updated according to this error.
     *
     * The symbol synchronization is done using a modified Mueller and
     * Muller circuit from the paper:
     * 
     * "G. R. Danesfahani, T.G. Jeans, "Optimisation of modified
     * Mueller and Muller algorithm," Electronics Letters, Vol. 31,
     * no. 13, 22 June 1995, pp. 1032 - 1033."
     *
     * This circuit interpolates the downconverted sample (using the
     * NCO developed by the Costas loop) every mu samples, then it
     * finds the sampling error based on this and the past symbols and
     * the decision made on the samples. Like the phase error
     * detector, there are optimized decision algorithms for BPSK and
     * QPKS, but 8PSK uses another brute force computation against all
     * possible symbols. The modifications to the M&M used here reduce
     * self-noise.
