Can you please explain the offset estimator based on 8th power ? Any paper or book reference ? Will that be blind estimator ? Regards, Ali

Can you please give me some reference so that I could better understand how to implement the blind phase and frequcency offset estimation considering two subsequent symbols and fourth power ?

Can you please explain the offset estimator based on > 8th power ?Ali, If you have an M-ary PSK signal, the possible phases are r[n] = exp(i * m[n] * 2 * pi / M + phi), m[n] \in {0, 1, ..., M-1}, where phi is some unknown phase. Thus (r[n])^M = exp(i * m[n] * 2 * pi + M * phi) = exp(i * M * phi) This is the basis of the Mth-power technique for carrier recovery. However, note that this introduces a 2 * pi / M phase ambiguity, since if phi = m * 2 * pi / M, then M * phi = m * 2 * pi == 0.> Any paper or book reference ? Will that be blind estimator ?Yes, it's a blind estimator in that it doesn't require any special source symbol sequence. -- Randy Yates % "Midnight, on the water...
