Abstract :
This paper analyzes an algorithm for synchronizing with a QPSK burst transmission. The symbol timing, carrier frequency offset, and carrier phase offset are estimated using a novel low-complexity kurtosis-based algorithm. The paper computes Cramer-Rao bounds for joint estimation of the synchronization parameters and compares the performance of the proposed estimation algorithm with these bounds.
