Abstract

The present invention relates to a phase recovery device, phase recovery method and receiver for 16 QAM data modulation. The phase recovery device comprises: a fourth power calculator for calculating fourth power values of respective symbols in a symbol block; a classification unit for classifying respective symbols in the symbol block based on amplitudes, so as to classify respective symbols in the symbol block into a first category having a large or small amplitude, and a second category having an intermediate amplitude; a reference point determination unit for determining a reference point based on categories of respective symbols in the symbol block and their fourth power values; a rotation unit for rotating respective symbols in the symbol block undergone the fourth power operations and being classified into the second category, based on the reference point; and a phase estimation unit for performing phase estimations based on respective symbols in the symbol block undergone the fourth power operations and being classified into the first category, and respective rotated symbols in the symbol block undergone the fourth power operations and being classified into the second categ…
