Abstract
One embodiment of a DPSK receiver includes an ADC, a down-sampler, and a timing tracker. The ADC samples a received DPSK signal providing sub-samples of a digital signal. The timing tracker examines differences between amplitudes of currently selected sub-samples and sub-samples before and after the currently selected sub-samples. The differences may indicate a timing adjustment may be made to the digital signal. The timing tracker may change the timing of the digital signal by modifying the configuration of the down-sampler. Additionally, the timing tracker may also correct phase errors introduced by configuration changes of the down-sampler.
