Detailed Documentation

This project presents a Simulink simulation of the Gardner algorithm for timing error detection in receivers, with supporting Word documentation. The Gardner algorithm, implemented through Simulink blocks and signal processing components, serves as a crucial timing error detection mechanism in digital communication systems. The simulation constructs a comprehensive receiver model incorporating interpolation filters, timing error detectors, and loop filters to demonstrate the algorithm's practical implementation. This Simulink model enables detailed performance analysis of the Gardner algorithm's capability to recover symbol timing through error signal generation and synchronization mechanisms. The accompanying Word documentation provides comprehensive explanations of algorithm parameters, implementation considerations, and simulation configuration details, facilitating deeper understanding of both the Simulink model structure and the Gardner algorithm's application in real-world communication systems. This resource aims to support research and practical implementations in related technical fields by offering both hands-on simulation experience and thorough theoretical background.
