In the ideal case, according to the first symbol y provided in step S2011And the second symbol y2, the rotation that is calculated
Phase inversion positionFollowing relationship should be met:
Wherein,To takeThe function of real part,To takeThe function of imaginary part.
Due to including two equations and a unknown number in formula (2), the equation in formula (2) is excessively fixed, in ideal situation
Under the rotatable phase that is solved by two equationsIt is equal.But in practical applications, exist in data transmission procedure
The interference of noise, correspondingly, the first symbol y being disturbed1And the second symbol y2Expression formula are as follows:
