Abstract

The expected value and the variance of the Baseband Assembly symbol signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimation algorithm are derived. The SNR algorithm treated here is designated as the Split Symbol Moments Estimator (SSME). It consists of averaging the first two moments of the integrated half symbols. The SSME is a biased, consistent estimator. The SNR degradation factor due to the jitter in the subcarrier demodulation and symbol synchronization loops is taken into account. Curves of the expected value of the SNR estimator versus the actual SNR are shown.
