| Descripció: | This paper is concerned with the derivation of new estimators and performance bounds for the problem of timing estimation of (linearly) digitally modulated signals. The conditional maximum likelihood (CML) method is adopted, in contrast to the classical low-SNR unconditional ML (UML) formulation
that is systematically applied in the literature for the derivation
of non-data-aided (NDA) timing-error-detectors (TEDs). A new CML TED is derived and proved to be self-noise free, in contrast to the conventional low-SNR-UML TED. In addition, the paper provides a derivation of the conditional Cramér–Rao Bound (CRB ), which is higher (less optimistic) than the modified CRB (MCRB)
[which is only reached by decision-directed (DD) methods]. It is shown that the CRB is a lower bound on the asymptotic statistical
accuracy of the set of consistent estimators that are quadratic with respect to the received signal. Although the obtained bound
is not general, it applies to most NDA synchronizers proposed in the literature. A closed-form expression of the conditional CRB
is obtained, and numerical results confirm that the CML TED attains the new bound for moderate to high Eg/No. |
