Abstract :
An algorithm to estimate jointly the symbol timing and carrier phase for continuous-phase modulation (CPM) is described. It is designed to optimize the steady-state performance of the CPM synchronizer and exhibits excellent performance, very close to the optimum maximum-likelihood estimate. The algorithm is simple and practical and may be employed with any CPM scheme. It is based on a signal space decomposition of the CPM signal in the Walsh signal space
