dc.description.abstractProper synchronization between a transmitter and receiver, in terms of carrier phase and symbol timing, is critical for reliable communication. Carrier phase synchronization is related to the frequency translation hardware, where perfect synchronization means that the local oscillators of the transmitter’s upconverter and receiver’s downconverter are aligned in phase and frequency. Timing synchronization is related to the analog-to-digital converter in the receiver, where perfect synchronization means that samples of the received signal are taken at transmitted symbol times. Perfect synchronization is unlikely in practical systems for a number of reasons, including hardware limitations and the independence of the transmitter and receiver. This thesis explores an FPGA implementation of a PLL-based carrier phase and symbol timing synchronization subsystem as part of a 16-APSK aeronautical telemetry receiver. The theory behind this subsystem is presented, and the hardware implementation of each component is described. Results demonstrate successful demodulation of a test signal, and system performance is shown to be comparable to double-precision floating point simulations in terms of error vector magnitude, synchronization lock time, and BER.
