Frame Synchronization Techniques for iNET-Formatted SOQPSK-TG Communications In this thesis, frame synchronization for iNET formatted SOQPSK-TG communications is considered. Frame synchronization for M-ary linear modulations (MQAM, MPSK, etc.) are known in the literature using pilot detection methods, but are based on a signal model that does not apply to SOQPSK-TG. Maximum likelihood frame synchronizers are derived for an SOQPSK-TG system following assumptions found in the literature. The

Simulation results for an AWGN channel and several multipath channels verify the performance of the synchronizers.
