Abstract
An apparatus and method for generating an accumulated phase measurement of a communications signal over a predetermined time interval. A frequency estimate of the signal is generated; the frequency estimate is then converted to a coarse phase measurement. A phase error is generated based on the frequency estimate; the phase error is then converted to a fine phase measurement. The coarse and fine phase measurements are summed to yield an accumulated phase measurement.
