can provide the same timing-error information irrespective
of carrier frequency and phase. Therefore, the timing
recovery can be achieved prior to carrier recovery. To

be improved to PFD for better acquisition performance.
The PD is transformed into a PFD by using a track and

n! CONCLUSION
By means of computer fixed point simulation and
analysis, the SER performance approaches the theoretical
value, meanwhile the architecture and algorithms of 8PSK
