Popis: Estimation of the symbol rate has important applications in receiver synchronization for symbol time recovery. In this paper the problem is investigated using Smoothen Non-Linear Energy Operator (SNEO). Unlike wavelet based methods in [2], [3], [4] the proposed algorithm is completely blind because it does not require any priory information regarding the modulation type or carrier frequency. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is computationally efficient. Simulation results also proof the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
