 * \brief Mueller and Müller (M&M) based clock recovery block with float input, float
 * output. \ingroup synchronizers_blk
 *
 * \details
 * This implements the Mueller and Müller (M&M) discrete-time
 * error-tracking synchronizer.
 *
 * The peak to peak input signal amplitude must be symmetrical
 * about zero, as the M&M timing error detector (TED) is a
 * decision directed TED, and this block uses a symbol decision
 * slicer referenced at zero.
 *
 * The input signal peak amplitude should be controlled to a
 * consistent level (e.g. +/- 1.0) before this block to achieve
 * consistent results for given gain settings; as the TED's output
 * error signal is directly affected by the input amplitude.
 *
 * The input signal must have peaks in order for the TED to output
 * a correct error signal. If the input signal pulses do not have
 * peaks (e.g. rectangular pulses) the input signal should be
 * conditioned with a matched pulse filter or other appropriate
 * filter to peak the input pulses. For a rectangular base pulse
 * that is N samples wide, the matched filter taps would be
 * [1.0/float(N)]*N, or in other words a moving average over N
 * samples.
 *
 * This block will output samples at a rate of one sample per
 * recovered symbol, and is thus not outputting at a constant rate.
 *
 * Output symbols are not a subset of input, but may be interpolated.
 *
 * See "Digital Communication Receivers: Synchronization, Channel
 * Estimation and Signal Processing" by Heinrich Meyr, Marc
 * Moeneclaey, & Stefan Fechtel.  ISBN 0-471-50275-8.
