To overcome the high complexity of the symbol timing synchronization method using polyphase filterbank
a symbol timing synchronization method based on interpolated matched filters is proposed. In the proposed method
the interpolation step is adjusted according to timing errors
and is used to interpolate the discrete pulse response of the preinstalled matched-filter
so that the group delay of matched-filter is adjusted to achieve symbol timing synchronization. The proposed method has less complexity and provides precise symbol timing synchronization more easily than the polyphase filterbank method has. The synchronization loop with the interpolated matched-filters has been simulated at 2 samples per symbol. The simulation results show that the proposed method brings performance improvement of approximately 1 dB in signal to noise ratio(SNR)compared to the polyphase filterbank method at equivalent complexity when bit error r
atio is 10
-3
and can provide precise symbol timing synchronization with less complexity.
