  • Publication number: 20140105616
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a phase detection method and apparatus. The apparatus comprises a phase detector, the phase detector comprising a calculation unit configured to calculate a phase difference according to a product of receiving power at different moments, so as to perform clock recovery by using the phase difference; wherein the receiving power is that obtained in sampling input signals at a predefined sampling rate, the predefined sampling rate being 2 times of a symbol rate. With the method and apparatus of the embodiments of the present invention, the problem that in case of a relatively large frequency difference or line width, or the transmitted signals are Nyquist signals of spectral widths close to the symbol rate, a conventional phase detection method will be invalid, is solved by calculating a phase difference only according to a product of receiving power at different moments.
