Abstract

The taps of an equalizer are used as inputs to a discrete Fourier transform (DFT). Certain spectral components are extracted from the DFT and used to estimate the frequency difference. The frequency difference estimate is filtered using a phase locked loop and used to adjust one clock to synchronize the transmit and receive clocks.
