FRANKS, FELLOW.IEEE Absrmcr-This paperexamines the problems ofcarrierphase design of the PLL and there areseveral textbooks dealing with estimation and symboltiming estimation for carrier-type synchronous synchronous communication systems which treat the PLL in digital data signals, with tutorial objectives foremost.

Although we consider only suppressed- recovery for suppressed-carrier versions of double sideband DSB , vestigialsideband VSB , andquadratureamplitude modulation carrier signal formats here, the PLL material is still relevant QAM signal formats is considered first.Then the problem of symbol since these devices are often used as component parts of the timingrecoveryfor a baseband pulse-amplitude modulation PAM overall phase recoverysystem. signal is examined.Timingrecoverycircuits based on elementary Formodulationformats which exhibit a high bandwidth well as timing recovery based on statistical properties are discussed as efficiency, i.e., which have a large “bits per cycle” figure of maximum-likelihood estimation theory. A relatively simple approach merit, we find the accuracy requirements on carrier and bit to evaluation of timing recovery circuit performance in terms of rms jitter of the timing parameters is presented. synchronization increasinglysevere. Unfortunately, it isalso in these high-efficiency systems that we find it most difficult to extract accurate carrier phase and symbol timing informa- I.
