  • Patent number: 8571141
    Abstract: A carrier recovery device and a carrier recovery method are provided. The device includes a phase detection module, a computation module, a phase angle adjustment module, a loop filter, and a conversion module. The phase detection module receives an IF signal, and detects a sine and a cosine signals corresponding to the IF signal. The computation module receives the sine and the cosine signals, and computes a phase angle between the sine and the cosine signals. The phase angle adjustment module adjusts the phase angle according to one of the sine and the cosine signals and a threshold. The loop filter generates a frequency offset angle according to the phase angle. The conversion module generates a sine and a cosine parameters according to the frequency offset angle, and transfers the sine and the cosine parameters to the phase detection module.
