Effects of the clock transition slope on the symbol synchronizers

Abstract

In this paper we present four types of closed loop symbol synchronizers, namely the analog, the hybrid, the combinational and the sequential. Also we show two test configurations of these synchronizers, one with an abrupt clock transition slope and other with some clock transition slope reduction. The main objective is to study the effects of the clock transitionslope on the four synchronizers. Then we will show and compareits jitter-noise curves.
