Improved Gardner Suppression Timing Jitter Synchronization Algorithm

Abstract

In non-cooperative digital communication systems, the symbol synchronization of the received signal is of great significance for the correct demodulation of the signal. Synchronization, as a key factor in the accurate transmission of information at the sender in communication, is also a vital technology in blind demodulation structures. Strictly speaking, the synchronization technology in non-cooperative communication systems includes not only carrier synchronization and bit synchronization, but also group synchronization and network synchronization. Although the existing synchronization algorithms have good reference value, they also have their limitations. For the traditional symbol synchronization loop based on the Gardner algorithm, when the roll-off coefficient is small and the symbol rate is high, the loop self-noise is serious. This paper uses a symbol synchronization method based on interpolation adjustment sequences, and proposes an improved algorithm that sets a pre-filter that meets the condition of zero timing jitter before the traditional timing error detector to compensate for the effect of self-noise on synchronization. The simulation results of the two algorithms are compared and analyzed. Through the comparison and analysis of the simulation results of the two algorithms, it is found that the improved algorithm can effectively suppress the timing jitter caused by the self-noise of the loop, and at the same time, can accelerate the symbol synchronization speed, effectively improve the limitations of the traditional algorithm and the slow convergence speed.
