Costas Loop

Hi, I’m an italian student.
I’m studying about GnuRadio and Usrp.
I would like to know informations about Costas loop’s coefficients.
Alpha and Beta. Where can I find some inform

Taken from the header file:

  • All settings max_freq and min_freq are in terms of radians per
    sample,
  • NOT HERTZ. Alpha is the phase gain (first order, units of radians
    per radian)
  • and beta is the frequency gain (second order, units of radians per
    sample per radian)

For a good theoretical and practical description of the parameters
look here: http://archive.chipcenter.com/dsp/DSP010531F1.html

I also just updated the Doxygen comments for the Costas loop code. If
you build the documentation from the current trunk, it should provide
some more helpful information to using it.
