Performance Analysis of Blind Carrier Phase Estimators for General QAM Constellations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Large quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellations are currently used in throughput efRcient high speed communication applications such as digital TV. For such large signal constellations, carrier phase synchronization is a crucial problem because for efficiency reasons the carrier acquisition must often be performed blindly, without the use of training or pilot sequences. The goal of the present paper is to provide thorough performance analysis of the blind carrier phase estimators that have been proposed in the literature and to assess their relative merits.

Performance analysis of blind carrier phase estimators for general QAM constellations
Large quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellations are currently used in throughput efficient high-speed communication applications such as digital TV. For such large signal constellations, carrier-phase synchronization is a crucial problem because for efficiency reasons, the carrier acquisition must often be performed blindly, without the use of training or pilot sequences.

متن کاملBlind Carrier Phase Recovery for General 2π/M-rotationally Symmetric Constellations
This paper introduces a novel blind carrier phase recovery estimator for general 2π/M-rotationally symmetric constellations. This estimation method is a generalization of the non-data-aided (NDA) nonlinear Phase Metric Method (PMM) estimator already designed for general quadrature amplitude constellations. This unbiased estimator is seen here as a fourth order PMM then generalized to M th order...
متن کاملA Simple Improvement to the Viterbi and Viterbi Monomial-Based Phase Estimators
It is well known that the Viterbi and Viterbi MonomialBased Phase Estimator, which includes the M Power Estimator, performs poorly for cross QAM signals. However, it is shown here that by allowing the power of the monomial to be negative, much improved performance can be realized at medium to high signalto-noise ratios (SNR). Monte Carlo simulations are used to demonstrate the efficacy of this ...
متن کاملBlind l1-norm-based phase estimation for cross-QAM robust to finite precision effects
We introduce a new blind criterion for carrier phase recovery of QAM modulated data, based on the maximization of the average of the q-th power of the phase-compensated received data vector `1-norm. In order to improve the performance of state-of-the-art higher-order estimators for cross-QAM constellations, which are sensitive to finite precision effects, our focus is on low-order methods (q = ...
متن کاملOptimal blind nonlinear least-squares carrier phase and frequency offset estimation for general QAM modulations
This paper introduces a family of blind feedforward nonlinear least-squares (NLS) estimators for joint estimation of the carrier phase and frequency offset of general quadrature amplitude modulated (QAM) transmissions. As an extension of the Viterbi and Viterbi (V&V) estimator, a constellation-dependent optimal matched nonlinear estimator is derived such that its asymptotic (large sample) varia...
