Feedforward symbol timing recovery

This book provides a rigorous treatment of several theoretical and practical aspects related to feedforward techniques for symbol timing recovery. This topic is of increasing importance due to the crowning demand for packet oriented transmission systems, when classical feedback loops for synchronization are unsuitable because of their acquisition behaviour. This work is dedicated to practice, providing the reader with basics, design rules, implementation proprosals, complexity evaluations, performance estimations and measurements, and numerous examples. The work is not only useful for engineers working in research and development departments, but for all scientists who want to study feedforward synchronization techniques.
