Mechanism for reducing timing jitter in clock recovery scheme for blind acquisition of full duplex signals

摘要

Timing jitter in the clock recovery loop of a 'blind' signal acquisition receiver employing a square law detector in a phase lock loop signal flow path is substantially reduced by adaptively adjusting the parameters of the loop's pre-filter, so as to compensate for conjugate antisymmetric components in the spectrum of the monitored signal of interest. The signal timing recovery signal processing mechanism includes a filter parameter adjustment operator which controllably sets the weighting parameters of a baseband prefilter, so that the filtered signal does not possess conjugate antisymmetry about the Nyquist frequency and the spectrum of the filtered signal is essentially conjugate symmetric.
