Detailed Description

Symbol Synchronizer block with float input, float output.

This implements a discrete-time error-tracking synchronizer.

For this block to work properly, the input stream must meet the following requirements:

if not using the PFB Matched Filter interpolator, and using a non-CPM timing error detector, the input pulses must have peaks (not flat), which usually can be implemented by using a matched filter before this block.
for decision directed timing error detectors, the input pulses should nominally match the normalized slicer constellation, which is normalized to an average symbol magnitude of 1.0 over the entire constellation.

Make a Symbol Synchronizer block.

This implements a discrete-time error-tracking synchronizer.

For this block to work properly, the input stream must meet the following requirements:

if not using the PFB Matched Filter interpolator, and using a non-CPM timing error detector, the input pulses must have peaks (not flat), which usually can be implemented by using a matched filter before this block.
for decision directed timing error detectors, the input pulses should nominally match the normalized slicer constellation, which is normalized to an average symbol magnitude of 1.0 over the entire constellation.

Parameters

detector_type	The enumerated type of timing error detector to use. See enum ted_type for a list of possible types.
sps	User specified nominal clock period in samples per symbol.
loop_bw	Approximate normailzed loop bandwidth of the symbol clock tracking loop. It should nominally be close to 0, but greater than 0. If unsure, start with a number around 2pi0.040, and experiment to find the value that works best for your situation.
damping_factor	Damping factor of the symbol clock tracking loop. Damping < 1.0f is an under-damped loop. Damping = 1.0f/sqrt(2.0f) is a maximally flat loop response. Damping = 1.0f is a critically-damped loop. Damping > 1.0f is an over-damped loop.
ted_gain	Expected gain of the timing error detector, given the TED in use and the anticipated input amplitude, pulse shape, and Es/No. This value is the slope of the TED's S-curve at timing offset tau = 0. This value is normally computed by the user analytically or by simulation in a tool outside of GNURadio. This value must be correct for the loop filter gains to be computed properly from the desired input loop bandwidth and damping factor.
max_deviation	Maximum absolute deviation of the average clock period estimate from the user specified nominal clock period in samples per symbol.
osps	The number of output samples per symbol (default=1).
slicer	A constellation obj shared pointer that will be used by decision directed timing error detectors to make decisions. I.e. the timing error detector will use this constellation as a slicer, if the particular algorithm needs sliced symbols.
interp_type	The enumerated type of interpolating resampler to use. See the interpolating resampler type enum for a list of possible types.
n_filters	The number of arms in the polyphase filterbank of the interpolating resampler, if using an interpolating resampler that uses a PFB.
taps	The prototype filter for the polyphase filterbank of the interpolating resampler, if using an interpolating resampler that uses a PFB.

◆ set_alpha()

virtual void gr::digital::symbol_sync_ff::set_alpha ( float alpha )

pure virtual

Set the PI filter proportional gain, alpha.

Sets the PI filter proportional gain, alpha. This gain directly mutliplies the clock phase/timing error term in the PI filter when advancing the loop. It most directly affects the instantaneous clock period estimate, T_inst, and instantaneous clock phase estimate, tau.

This value would normally be adjusted by setting the loop bandwidth and damping factor. However, it can be set here directly if desired.

Setting this parameter directly is probably only feasible if the user is directly observing the estimates of average clock period and instantaneous clock period over time in response to an impulsive change in the input stream (i.e. watching the loop transient behavior at the start of a data burst).

Parameters

alpha PI filter proportional gain

◆ set_beta()

virtual void gr::digital::symbol_sync_ff::set_beta ( float beta )

pure virtual

Set the PI filter integral gain, beta.

Sets the PI filter integral gain, beta. This gain is used when integrating the clock phase/timing error term in the PI filter when advancing the loop. It most directly affects the average clock period estimate, T_avg.

This value would normally be adjusted by setting the loop bandwidth and damping factor. However, it can be set here directly if desired.

Setting this parameter directly is probably only feasible if the user is directly observing the estimates of average clock period and instantaneous clock period over time in response to an impulsive change in the input stream (i.e. watching the loop transient behavior at the start of a data burst).

Parameters

beta	PI filter integral gain

◆ set_damping_factor()

virtual void gr::digital::symbol_sync_ff::set_damping_factor ( float zeta )

pure virtual

Set the loop damping factor.

Set the damping factor of the loop. Damping in the range (0.0, 1.0) yields an under-damped loop. Damping in the range (1.0, Inf) yields an over-damped loop. Damping equal to 1.0 yields a crtically-damped loop. Damping equal to 1.0/sqrt(2.0) yields a maximally flat loop filter response.

Damping factor of the 2nd order loop transfer function. When a new damping factor is set, the gains, alpha and beta, of the loop are automatically recalculated.

Parameters

zeta	loop damping factor

◆ set_loop_bandwidth()

virtual void gr::digital::symbol_sync_ff::set_loop_bandwidth ( float omega_n_norm )

pure virtual

Set the normalized approximate loop bandwidth.

Set the normalized approximate loop bandwidth. Useful values are usually close to 0.0, e.g. 2*pi*0.045.

It should be a small positive number, corresponding to the normalized natural radian frequency of the loop as digital low-pass filter that is filtering the clock phase/timing error.

Technically this parameter corresponds to the natural radian frequency of the 2nd order loop transfer function (scaled by Fs), which is the radius of the pole locations in the s-plane of an underdamped analog 2nd order system.

The input parameter corresponds to omega_n_norm in the following relation:

omega_n_norm = omega_n*T = 2*pi*f_n*T = 2*pi*f_n_norm

where T is the period of the clock being estimated by this clock tracking loop, and omega_n is the natural radian frequency of the 2nd order loop transfer function.

When a new loop bandwidth is set, the gains, alpha and beta, of the loop are automatically recalculated.

Parameters

omega_n_norm normalized approximate loop bandwidth

◆ set_ted_gain()

virtual void gr::digital::symbol_sync_ff::set_ted_gain ( float ted_gain )

pure virtual

Set the expected gain of the Timing Error Detector.

Sets the expected gain of the timing error detector, given the TED in use and the anticipated input amplitude, pulse shape, and Es/No. This value is the slope of the TED's S-curve at timing offset tau = 0. This value is normally computed by the user analytically or by simulation in a tool outside of GNURadio. This value must be correct for the loop filter gains to be computed properly from the desired input loop bandwidth and damping factor.

When a new ted_gain is set, the gains, alpha and beta, of the loop are automatically recalculated.

Parameters
