  • Symbol-timing recovery techniques for multi-branch receivers
    Patent number: 8798122
    Abstract: A symbol-timing recovery function of a receiver is provided with a signal combiner (465) coupled to a first receive branch with a first receive signal (10) and to a second receive branch with a second receive signal (20). The signal combiner (465) generates a combined signal (C) on the basis of the first receive signal (10) and the second receive signal (20). Further, a common timing error detector (470C) is provided. The common timing error detector (470C) is coupled to the signal combiner (465) and is configured to generate a common timing error signal (TEC) on the basis of the combined signal. A first digital symbol timing for the first receive signal (10) and a second digital symbol timing for the second receive signal (20) are recovered on the basis of the common timing error signal (TEC).
