Abstract

A phase tracking system includes a source of an input signal representing a received symbol. A phase rotator has a first input terminal which is responsive to the input signal, a second input terminal which is responsive to a phase correction signal, and an output terminal which produces a phase adjusted output signal. A decision element generates an ideal signal representing the received symbol in response to the phase adjusted output signal. A phase adjuster, which has full phase wrap-around capability, generates the phase correction signal in response to the phase difference between the phase adjusted output signal and the ideal signal.
