Abstract

In this paper we present an autocorrelation based method for estimating the carrier frequency offset of an MPSK signal with random data modulation.Although autocorrelation based techniques imply heavy usage of hardware resourses this technique is scalable and lends itself to systolic VLSI implementations.
