Detailed Description

This block takes care of receiving M-PSK modulated signals through phase, frequency, and symbol synchronization.

It performs carrier frequency and phase locking as well as symbol timing recovery. It works with (D)BPSK, (D)QPSK, and (D)8PSK as tested currently. It should also work for OQPSK and PI/4 DQPSK.

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. There are optimized phase error detectors for BPSK and QPSK, but 8PSK is done using a brute-force computation of the constellation points to find the minimum.

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.
