Abstract

A receiver and method for a wireless signal transmission system use digital amplitude modulation of a base band signal having a symbol clock frequency. The receiver includes a reference generator which generates a local reference frequency, a mixer to extract the base band signal, a high pass filter to suppress a DC component, an amplifier, an analog-to-digital converter and a digital signal processor to receive digital signals and extract symbols. A base band signal rotation detection circuit detects rotation of the base band signal upstream of the high pass filter. The digital signal processor determines a symbol clock phase by generating a coarse estimate of the symbol clock phase and correcting the coarse estimate based on detected rotations of the base band signal. A determination that the symbol clock phase corresponds to a complete rotation is used in relation to the extraction of symbols.
