Abstract
A carrier recovery apparatus capable of detecting a phase error of modulation signal by a simple calculation, reducing the circuit scale, and improving the frequency capture characteristic and phase jitter characteristic is presented. This carrier recovery apparatus comprises a symbol estimating unit for estimating the transmitted symbol, a phase error detector for generating a normalized phase error signal on the basis of the estimated symbol and reception signal, a loop filter for filtering the phase error, and a numerical control oscillator controlled by the loop filter.
