| Abstract: |
This paper deals with iterative maximum-likelihood synchronization of a scalar parameter. An efficient implementation of the Newton-Raphson (NR) maximum-search method is proposed. Considering the latter implementation, the NR approach is shown to be an attractive alternative to synchronization methods based on the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. Simulation results for the case of phase-offset synchronization show that NR method usually increases the speed of convergence of the synchronization algorithm. |
