<p>A method and an arrangement for cycle slip detection for timing recovery of a received analog signal comprising asynchronously sampled digital data are recommended. More specifically a fully digital implementation of a timing recovery control loop using a technique known as interpolated timing recovery and improved cycle slip detection as well as improved cycle slip correction based on said cycle slip detection are recommended. The method comprises the steps of using an output signal of the loop filter in the control loop for timing recovery, generating averaged timing error values from said filtered timing error signal and accumulating changes of the averaged timing error values in adjacent blocks of samples which exceed a first threshold. Accumulated averaged timing error changes of adjacent blocks which exceed a second threshold are then declared as cycle slip and the number of cycle slips is determined by a third threshold being a tolerance threshold. Furthermore, a first-in, first-out memory is provided for sample insertion or deletion, which means that a sample insertion or sample deletion takes place in the sample domain with increased reliability and an improved method for cycle slip detection is recommended due to increased robustness against noise and inappropriately chosen timing loop parameters, which is also applicability for systems with frequency-offsets. The method and a corresponding arrangement are applicable for timing recovery of signals having high intersymbol interference, low signal to noise ratio and frequency offset as e.g. provided by reading a high-density data storage medium or received by mobile phone.</p> |
