The former essentially implements the first 3 of the steps discussed at the end of section \ref{sec:phasecorr}. The correlator estimator block is given a sequence of samples, and when the cross correlation between them and the input stream is higher than a certain threshold (90\% of the amplitude of a perfect autocorrelation), it produces a ``tag'' in the output stream, that contains the phase estimate. @@ -423,7 +423,7 @@ For generating the Byte error rate it is focus on byte-blocks of a specific leng Currently as described in section \ref{sec:data-frame}, the access codes are put as bytes in front of the frame in the \(k\)-byte preamble. For this to work, the access code bytes must still have a good autocorrelation function after being modulated into symbols using the chosen modulation scheme. This works well with QPSK, because the constellation is quite simple and the length of the sequence is only halved after the modulation (since QPKS has 2 bits per symbol). Thus in the QPSK flowgraph, the longest known 13 bit Barker sequence \texttt{0x1f35} padded with zeros after MSB is sufficient (\(\approx 7\) symbols). -With QAM however, the complexity of the constellation and the higher number of bits per symbol makes it increasingly difficult to find binary sequences, that after being modulated still retain a good autocorrelation function.

The latter is especially problematic because then it is no longer possible to identify the peak by comparing the autocorrelation value to a fixed threshold as done in section \ref{sec:implement-phasecorr}. + +\section{Incomplete} + + |
