it to currently accepted delay estimators implementing a variety of sub-sample interpolation methods. Simulation results show that this algorithm significantly outperforms other algorithms in terms of jitter and bias over a broad range of conditions. For a 5 MHz, 50% bandwidth signal sampled at 40 MHz with a sub-sample delay of 0.3 samples, the bias of the proposed method is over 300 times smaller than that for the normalized correlation with grid slope interpolation, and over 80 times better than that for normalized correlation implementing cosine fitting interpolation. Computational costs associated with this algorithm are comparable to those of other methods.
