High-Accuracy Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation for MPSK Signals

Abstract:

In this paper a high accuracy estimation algorithm of carrier frequency offset for MPSK signals in Gaussian white noise is proposed. Like the conventional practice, first the algorithm employs nonlinear processing to convert the MPSK signal to single sinusoidal signal, followed by windowed FFT, and then a method based on energy center correction is used to achieve accurate estimation. Simulation results have proved the feasibility,easiness of implementation, and the performance improvements in terms of accuracy and data length needed.
