Abstract

A method of, and apparatus for, symbol timing recovery, comprising asynchronously sampling a signal burst at a predetermined plurality of times per symbol period, combining corresponding samples occurring in successive sampling cycle periods, making a soft decision on each combination of samples, and selecting for demodulation a timing offset(i) giving the largest soft decision.
