Abstract

A technique is demonstrated for obtaining the spectral parameters of the received carrier Phase in the presence of carrier amplitude scintillation, by means of a digital phase locked loop. Since the random amplitude fluctuations generate time-varying loop characteristics, straightforward processing of the phase detector output does not provide accurate results. The method developed here performs a time-varying inverse filtering operation on the corrupted observables, thus recovering the original phase process and enabling accurate estimation of its underlying parameters.
