Create a carrier synchronizer object.

csync = comm.CarrierSynchronizer;

Determine the normalized pull-in range, the maximum frequency lock delay, and the maximum phase lock delay by using the info method.

syncInfo = info(csync)
syncInfo = struct with fields:
    NormalizedPullInRange: 0.0628
    MaxFrequencyLockDelay: 1.5787e+04
        MaxPhaseLockDelay: 130

The normalized pull-in range is 0.0628 rad/sec. Convert the pull-in range to Hz. This represents the maximum normalized frequency offset that can be corrected by the carrier synchronizer.

foffsetmax = syncInfo.NormalizedPullInRange/(2*pi)
foffsetmax = 
0.0100

The time to acquire a frequency lock is 15787 s, and the time to acquire a phase lock is 130 s.

The overall acquisition time, Tlock, is well approximated by the sum of the frequency and phase lock terms.

Tlock = syncInfo.MaxFrequencyLockDelay + syncInfo.MaxPhaseLockDelay
Tlock = 
1.5917e+04

Input Arguments

collapse all

System object to get information from.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Structure containing these fields with information about the System object.

Normalized pull in range in radians, returned as a scalar. NormalizedPullInRange is the largest frequency offset (rad), normalized by the loop bandwidth, for which the synchronizer can acquire lock.

Maximum frequency lock delay, returned as a positive integer. MaxFrequencyLockDelay is the number of samples required for the synchronizer to acquire frequency lock.

Maximum phase lock delay, returned as a positive integer. MaxPhaseLockDelay is the number of samples required for the synchronizer to acquire phase lock.
