Carrier Recovery: A Carrier Recovery System Is A Term Used For The Circuit That Estimates

A carrier recovery system estimates and compensates for phase and frequency differences between the carrier wave of a received signal and the local oscillator of the receiver. This is done to allow for coherent demodulation of the signal. A carrier recovery system circuits estimates and adjusts for frequency and phase offsets between the received carrier wave and the receiver's local oscillator. Clock recovery extracts timing information transmitted within a digitally modulated carrier wave to decode and process the data. Transmitters and receivers rarely have perfectly matched frequency oscillators due to their independent nature and factors like Doppler shift, requiring carrier recovery systems.

Digital Modulation

Carrier Recovery: A carrier recovery system is a term used for the circuit that estimates
and then compensates for the phase and frequency differences that exist between the
carrier wave of a signal and the local oscillator of the receiver. The purpose is coherent
demodulation.
A carrier recovery system is really a (Wikipedia, 2013 ) circuit used to estimate and
compensate for frequency and phase differences between a received signal's carrier
wave and the receiver's local oscillator for the purpose of coherent demodulation.
Example of QPSK carrier recovery phase error causing a fixed rotational offset of the
received symbol constellation, X, relative to the intended constellation, O.

In the transmitter of a communications carrier system, a carrier wave is modulated by a
baseband signal. At the receiver the baseband information is extracted from the
incoming modulated waveform.
In an ideal communications system, the carrier frequency oscillators of the transmitter
and receiver would be perfectly matched in frequency and phase thereby permitting
perfect coherent demodulation of the modulated baseband signal.
However, transmitters and receivers rarely share the same carrier frequency oscillator.
Communications receiver systems are usually independent of transmitting systems and
contain their own oscillators with frequency and phase offsets and instabilities. Doppler

shift may also contribute to frequency differences in mobile radio frequency


communications systems.
Clock Recovery: Clock recovery is the process used to extract and reconstruct timing
information that is transmitted from a single-wire digitally modulated carrier wave and
then used to decode and process the data to a further level.
