R. Mantha et al., A SOFTWARE-BASED VARIABLE-RATE MODEM FOR PCS APPLICATIONS, Canadian journal of electrical and computer engineering, 22(2), 1997, pp. 47-50
This paper describes the software implementation of the baseband porti
on of a variable-rate modem. The modem can handle arbitrary symbol rat
es with a fixed input/output sample rate. This approach reduces hardwa
re complexity related to external clock generation circuitry, offers c
omplete flexibility in the selection of symbol rates, and conveniently
accommodates symbol-timing and symbol-rate corrections.
