Abstract

This paper proposes carrier synchronizator in a nonbinary LDPC and high-order QAM system in order to solve some relevant problems (e.g. Doppler shift, spectrum efficiency etc.) in the satellite communication. The carrier synchronizator is divided into two parts: frequency estimator and phase estimator. The frequency estimator has two steps: single pilot block-based coarse frequency estimation and multiple pilot block-based fine frequency estimation performed by an autocorrelation (AC) operation and a cross-correlation (CC) operation, respectively. Through frequency compensation, the following phase estimator is carried out by the classical maximum likelihood (ML) criterion. Simulation results show that, for a (225, 173) nonbinary LDPC code over GF(16) with a 16-QAM systems, the proposed carrier synchronizator can eliminate large Doppler shift in the presence of random phase offset with low complexity.
