RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERFORMANCE AND TIMING RECOVERY MECHANISMS FOR ADECT LINK IN DISPERSIVE CHANNELS

The performance of DECT (digital European cordless telecommunications) radio links under dispersive channel conditions is studied as a funct ion of clock recovery strategies. It is shown that due to the non-opti mal sampling, analytical and practical results based on fixed timing w ill not be acceptable above delay spreads of approximately 40 ns. On t he other hand, a burst-adaptive clock recovery scheme can more than do uble this range.
