Carrier Recovery for ‘Sub-Coherent’ CDMA Overview In this chapter we examine possible methods of carrier recovery for the SECDMA presented in Chapter 6. In particular, we propose, evaluate and compare two techniques; namely Symbol-Aided Demodulation (SAD) and the Pilot-Aided Demodulation (PAD). The performance analysis of each scheme (SAD and PAD) includes both Rician and Rayleigh multipath fading channels, and thus are also useful (in addition to the satellite) in terrestrial mobile application
