Abstract
Carrier wave frequency is quickly acquired without burdensome MIPs requirements by limiting the spectral analysis of the incoming channel to the expected band edges. The right and left band edges spectral energy is compared and clock frequency correction is made from the results of this comparison. A band pass filter, such as a Goertzel algorithm filter, is employed to quickly and with processing efficiency perform the spectral analysis at the band edges. Once the direction of the frequency error is derived, the correct frequency can be acquired through a feedback loop employing various iterative correction techniques, such as a gearshift approach in which certain predefined frequency corrections are imposed in decreasing steps until the desired carrier frequency has been acquired.
