Hello all, I am trying to implement the algorithm found in the paper "Carrier Frequency and Chip Rate Estimation Based on Cyclic Spectral Density of MPSK Signals" by Z. Zhang et. al. IEEE Basically, the algorithm states that if I calculate the cyclic autocorrelation of the signal and take its fourier transform and plot in in 3D (x-axis is chip rate, y-axis is the frequency, z-asix is the PSD). Now I get a beautiful 3D graph but its all sorts of wrong. The problem is that if I have a chip rate of 5MHz, i end up with the second peak (first one being at the center frequency with chip rate frequency = 0) around 6.2MHz. If my chip rate is 10MHz, the peak is close to 10 but not exactly at 10! Similarly 12,16,18 etc. are off of the axis. I am sure I am doing something ridiculous. Has anyone looked at this paper or used this kind of a technique to estimate the Fc and chip rate? Thank you. Sincerely, Parth
