Progressive refinement approach to MLE an application to carrier frequency recovery.

Carrier frequency estimation plays an important role in digital communication receivers. A progressive refinement approach to maximum-likelihood estimation is proposed as a means to improve the performance of a suboptimal estimation algorithm and achieve different tradeoffs among complexity, accurac...
