Abstract
A symbol timing recovery apparatus used with a VSB-type receiver and a method of the same. In order for the symbol timing recovery, error information is generated and used utilizing a band edge component maximization (BECM) of a frequency band as well as an upper frequency band. Therefore, the symbol timing recovery can be more effectively achieved even when the upper frequency band is damaged due to multi-path components. Also, efficiency of the overall timing recovery can be improved by using the lower frequency band as well as the upper frequency band of the received signal in performing the symbol timing recovery. As a result, deterioration of the receiving system including the symbol timing recovery apparatus can be prevented.
