英文摘要：

In order to reduce the computational complexity and expand the tracking scope of the traditional AFC method, a new AFC method for π/4-DQPSK modulation is proposed based on software-defined radio, using the phase correlation between the continuous bits. The method can calculate frequency offset directly from differential demodulated π/4-DQPSK signals to automatically correct receiver local oscillator frequency. The principle of π/4- DQPSK differential demodulation is elaborated. The mathematical model of frequency offset calculation is estab- lished. The performance of the new method and that of the traditional method in AWGN channel and TU50 channel are analyzed and compared. The Monte-Carlo simulation and application test results show that the proposed method is good and fast in convergence and small in computational complexity, and thus suitable for practical application.
