Synchronization: Digital Communication Chapter 6 & 7

The document discusses synchronization techniques used in digital communications. It covers phase synchronization using phase-locked loops (PLL) including linear and nonlinear PLL models. It also discusses symbol synchronization, frame synchronization, and network synchronization. The PLL section describes the basic PLL structure and analyzes the linear model in both frequency and time domains. It further covers PLL performance in noise and the acquisition process.

The output frequency of the VCO is a linear function of the input voltage y (t) The dierence in output voltage from 0 is d (t) = {(t)} = K0 y (t) dt = e(t) f (t) K0 (t) (t) f (t) Taking the Fourier transform we get j () = K0 () () F ()

Now the received signal is r (t) = cos(0 t + (t)) + n(t) rewriting the zero-mean Gaussian noise: n(t) = nc (t) cos(0 t) + ns (t) sin(0 t) we get the following error signal e(t) =x(t)r (t) = sin((t) (t)) + n (t) + 2 sin(20 + . . .) where n (t) = nc (t) cos((t)) + ns (t) sin((t))
