<p>A new method and apparatus for symbol timing phase estimation, based on a training-sequence, is presented. The estimate is calculated by carrying out a cross-correlation (12) of the received signal sequence and a part of the training-sequence, windowing the result (14), applying a suitable non-linearity (16) and determining the location as to time of certain characteristics of that time-continuous signal s(t), which delivers the output samples of the non-linearity, if being sampled (18). The distance between such location and some reference point inside the window provides after scaling (20) the desired estimate.</p> |
