- * The clock sync block needs to know the number of samples per symbol

- * symbol. The sps can be any positive real number and does not need

- * are generated by first conceiving of the prototype filter that
- * would be the signal's matched filter. Then interpolate this by the
- * number of filters in the filterbank. These are then distributed
- * among all of the filters. So if the prototype filter was to have 45
- * taps in it, then each path of the filterbank will also have 45
- * taps. This is easily done by building the filter with the sample

- * The initial phase is another settable parameter and refers to the

- * start at a different phase offset, such as the mid- point of the
- * filters.
+ * \li \p loop_bw: The loop bandwidth is used to set the gain of the
+ * inner control loop (see:
+ * http://gnuradio.squarespace.com/blog/2011/8/13/control-loop-gain-values.html).
+ * This should be set small (a value of around 2pi/100 is suggested in
+ * that blog post as the step size for the number of radians around
+ * the unit circle to move relative to the error).
*
- * The final parameter is the max_rate_devitation, which defaults to
- * 1.5. This is how far we allow d_rate to swing, positive or
- * negative, from 0. Constraining the rate can help keep the algorithm
- * from walking too far away to lock during times when there is no
- * signal.
+ * \li \p taps: One of the most important parameters for this block is
+ * the taps of the filter. One of the benefits of this algorithm is
+ * that you can put the matched filter in here as the taps, so you get
+ * both the matched filter and sample timing correction in one go. So
+ * create your normal matched filter. For a typical digital
+ * modulation, this is a root raised cosine filter. The number of taps
+ * of this filter is based on how long you expect the channel to be;
+ * that is, how many symbols do you want to combine to get the current
+ * symbols energy back (there's probably a better way of stating
+ * that). It's usually 5 to 10 or so. That gives you your filter, but
+ * now we need to think about it as a filter with different phase
+ * profiles in each filter. So take this number of taps and multiply
+ * it by the number of filters. This is the number you would use to
+ * create your prototype filter. When you use this in the PFB
+ * filerbank, it segments these taps into the filterbanks in such a
+ * way that each bank now represents the filter at different phases,
+ * equally spaced at 2pi/N, where N is the number of filters.
*
+ * \li \p filter_size (default=32): The number of filters can also be
+ * set and defaults to 32. With 32 filters, you get a good enough
+ * resolution in the phase to produce very small, almost unnoticeable,

+ * \li \p osps (default=1): The osps is the number of output samples per symbol. By default,
+ * the algorithm produces 1 sample per symbol, sampled at the exact
+ * sample value. This osps value was added to better work with
+ * equalizers, which do a better job of modeling the channel if they
+ * have 2 samps/sym.
