Hi Steve, Thanks for your inputs. I had one more question If I use data at 4x or 8x before downsampling, I may have better chance of hitting the correcting sampling point and reduce jitter to acceptable level. Or adjust the DAC sampling at integer U/D sampling at higher rate. Is this understanding correct? Regards Huzaifa>>Hi Steve, >> >>Yeah, I actually meant Jitter.

Generally, yes, if you don't mind some significant residual error rate due to the jitter you can upsample to 4-8x (or higher) and just pick the sample that is closest to the eye opening, depending on the rolloff rate (i.e., excess bandwidth) of the RRC filter. You can look at Figure 7 here and get an idea of how the pulse shape affects the sensitivity to jitter: http://www.dsprelated.com/showarticle/60.php Interpolating every sample and picking the best, however you decide how to pick the best one, is also fairly inefficient computationally since you wind up computing a bunch of samples that you don't need or use. The main avantages of using a polyphase or Farrow structure in the demodulator is that you compute only the samples that you're going to use and you can interpolate exactly where you want, i.e., where you think the zero-ISI point is.

Hi Eric Thanks for your reply. I visited your articles on jitter. It was very helpful. Regarding the problem I had, I managed to have some architectural changes and get the sampling frequency as integer multiple. I thought this was relatively the only best solution that could be worked out at the moment. Now the onus is on the accuracy and stability of my ADC.

Just add a clarification. I dont have any channel at the moment. All I need to is resample the received data at correct timing instant.However, farrow structure, as you suggested, would be a better option otherwise.

Small clarification. There is no channel at the moment and is not expected. However, farrow structure as you suggest, would be a better choice to address the issue.
