Abstract

In a communications system, a transmitted signal is typically impaired by phase jitter attributed to power line harmonics and ringing voltages present in a communications channel. In order to properly recover the transmitted signal, the phase jitter in a received signal needs to be eliminated. To this end, an infinite-impulse-response (IIR) filter arrangement is employed in a receiver to estimate the phase jitter and is followed by a demodulator which substantially removes the jitter based on the estimate. The transfer function of this IIR filter arrangement is a function of the autocorrelation of a phase error, the latter being indicative of the difference between the phase jitter in the received signal and the jitter estimate.
