Extended Gardner Detector for Improved Symbol-Timing Recovery of M-PSK Signals

In a recent paper, the modified Gardner detector has been proposed for advanced symbol-timing recovery of M-ary phase-shift keying signals. Compared with the original algorithm, the self-noise jitter can be considerably reduced for highly bandlimited systems and smaller values of . In this letter, a completely different approach is investigated, which improves the self-noise performance for larger values of M, as well
