+ * synchronization. 
+ * \ingroup sync_blk
+ * \ingroup demod_blk
+ *
+ * This block takes care of receiving generic modulated signals through phase, frequency, and symbol
+ * synchronization. It performs carrier frequency and phase locking as well as symbol timing recovery. 
+ *
+ * The phase and frequency synchronization are based on a Costas loop that finds the error of the incoming
+ * signal point compared to its nearest constellation point. The frequency and phase of the NCO are 
+ * updated according to this error.
+ *
+ * The symbol synchronization is done using a modified Mueller and Muller circuit from the paper:
+ * 
+ *    G. R. Danesfahani, T.G. Jeans, "Optimisation of modified Mueller and Muller 
+ *    algorithm,"  Electronics Letters, Vol. 31, no. 13,  22 June 1995, pp. 1032 - 1033.
+ *
+ * This circuit interpolates the downconverted sample (using the NCO developed by the Costas loop)
+ * every mu samples, then it finds the sampling error based on this and the past symbols and the decision
+ * made on the samples. Like the phase error detector, there are optimized decision algorithms for BPSK
+ * and QPKS, but 8PSK uses another brute force computation against all possible symbols. The modifications
+ * to the M&M used here reduce self-noise.
