What is symbol synchronization?

-For symbol synchronization, it is a square wave at the symbol transition rate (the receiver must be able to produce a square wave for each incoming signals transitions between symbols). A receiver that is able to do this can be said to have symbol synchronization, or to be in symbol lock.

How do you measure symbol rate?

In digital television transmission the symbol rate calculation is: symbol rate in symbols per second = (Data rate in bits per second × 204) / (188 × bits per symbol) The 204 is the number of bytes in a packet including the 16 trailing Reed–Solomon error correction bytes.

What is symbol synchronization Matlab?

The Symbol Synchronizer block corrects for clock skew between the transmitter and receiver, aligning the output signal with a valid clock reference. For the timing error conditions in this example, the symbol synchronizer returns a vector containing 99, 100, or 101 symbols for a 200-sample input vector.
