Carrier and Clock Recovery in (Turbo-)Coded Systems: Cramér-Rao Bound and Synchronizer Performance

In this paper, we derive the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) for joint carrier phase, carrier frequency, and timing estimation from a noisy linearly modulated signal with encoded data symbols. We obtain a closed-form expression for the CRB in terms of the marginal a posteriori probabilities of the coded s...
