Title
Unbiased timing-error estimation in the presence of nonideal interpolation
Abstract
We propose a method to eliminate the bias term present in the timing-error estimator employed in digital receivers where the input signal is sampled by a fixed clock which is not synchronized to the transmitter clock. This bias error results from the nonideal interpolation that precedes the timing-error estimator. We show that it can be derived as a function of the previously estimated symbol timings. An unbiased timing-error estimate can then be obtained by subtracting this bias term from the output of the timing-error detector. Simulation results are included to show the performance improvement realizable by employing this method
