Abstract
A symbol-timing recovery function of a receiver is provided with a signal combiner () coupled to a first receive branch with a first receive signal () and to a second receive branch with a second receive signal (). The signal combiner () generates a combined signal (C) on the basis of the first receive signal () and the second receive signal (). Further, a common timing error detector (C) is provided. The common timing error detector (C) is coupled to the signal combiner () and is configured to generate a common timing error signal (TEC) on the basis of the combined signal. A first digital symbol timing for the first receive signal () and a second digital symbol timing for the second receive signal () are recovered on the basis of the common timing error signal (TEC).
