Symbol Synchronization of GFSK Modulated Signals in a Multipath Environment

ITC/USA 2009 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Fifth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 26-29, 2009 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, NevadaThis paper investigates the performance of a symbol synchronization technique when used for bandlimited modulation formats in multipath environments. The performance was analyzed using Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying as the modulation format, and assume the receiver has no channel state information The symbol synchronization algorithm calculates the minimum sample variance of eye diagrams over varying symbol rate estimates. The system performance was measured through simulations run at various signal-to-noise ratios and over a range of single-reflection multipath channels.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
