Abstract

High-frequency single-sideband (HF-SSB) radio communication suffers from highly variable propagation conditions and high levels of interference noise. One common distortion is frequency shifting of the received signal due to differences in carrier frequencies at transmitter and receiver, or to Doppler shifts due to the transmission path. This paper presents a novel and efficient technique to compensate for this frequency offset using only the received speech signal to determine and correct the frequency error. Good improvement in received speech quality is achieved, using a mean opinion score measurement
