Symbol rate estimation method of MPSK signals using principal component analysis

Aiming at the symbol rate estimation of MPSK signals, this paper investigated the phenomenon that the peak features of cyclic spectrum were corrupted by colored background noise in the case of limited data, and proposed a symbol rate estimation algorithm which combined principal component analysis with cyclic spectrum. PCA transformation restrained the colored background noise in the cyclic spectrum, improved estimation precision, and decreased estimation variance. Simulation result shows that the algorithm acquires fine estimation precision under limited data, and is suitable for MPSK signals with distinct shaped filter coefficients.
