This paper considers feedforward carrier frequency estimation methods in burst‐mode digital transmission, with tutorial objectives foremost. Assuming PSK modulation, two scenarios are envisaged in which frequency estimates are derived either from a preamble appended to the data block, or directly from the modulated signal. Several estimation algorithms are considered with different and somewhat contrasting characteristics. The characteristics we focus on are: estimation accuracy, estimation range, minimum operating signal‐to‐noise ratio (threshold), and implementation complexity. They provide a framework within which current estimation methods can be evaluated. The paper reviews and compares some prominent algorithms proposed in literature, trying to single out the best ones for a given application.
