Detailed Description
SNR Estimator using 2nd and 4th-order moments.
An SNR estimator for M-PSK signals that uses 2nd (M2) and 4th (M4) order moments. This estimator uses knowledge of the kurtosis of the signal (k_a) and noise (k_w) to make its estimation. In this case, you can set your own estimations for k_a and k_w, the kurtosis of the signal and noise, to fit this estimation better to your signal and channel conditions.
A word of warning: this estimator has not been fully tested or proved with any amount of rigor. The estimation for M4 in particular might be ignoring effectf of when k_a and k_w are different. Use this estimator with caution and a copy of the reference on hand.
The digital_mpsk_snr_est_m2m4 assumes k_a and k_w to simplify the computations for M-PSK and AWGN channels. Use that estimator unless you have a way to guess or estimate these values here.
