Using predict is a similar solution to what I do in simple_ra for
"fringe stopping", except that it's all contained within the same chunk
of
Python, using a "helper" function that's tied to a every-5-seconds
polling loop. The helper function calculates the required phase
rotation, given a number of input parameters relating to the
observation.

It might not be completely contained in GRC, but it's a clever solution.
Another thing to look into is the fll_band_edge block. This will only work,
however, if the signal is pulse-shaped. Specifically with an RRC filter by
design, but we can modify it for other pulse shapes as well. This only does
coarse frequency correction, but it's lock in bandwidth is much wider than that
of the Costas loop block. You'd still want to follow this up with the Costas
loop for fine frequency and phase tracking.
One thing, too, is that this block is fairly expensive computationally. It's
calculating two FIR filters, which should be replaced by fast convolution
filters. And I think that we could even combine this into a single filter
operation.

Hi Colin,
Not really, though there is an AX25 style header. Far from ideal 01111110 flags.

I am trying to develop a satellite ground station using the PSK demodulator
block. This works fine when tuned accurately. However, with low satellites
there is quite a bit of Doppler at VHF / UHF and there is also some frequency
drift with satellite temperature as it enters or comes out of eclipse. This is
a problem as the signals are relatively narrow in bandwidth compared to the
Doppler and drift. I am wondering how to track this Doppler in Gnuradio. I have
tried a PLL block and while this works it isn't quite right unless the signal
is very strong. It can also get fooled by one of the many spurious signals
encountered on the bands.
To some extent the Doppler can be predicted and compensated for, but only when
the orbital parameters are known accurately. Even a few seconds error at TCA
can make quite a difference.
Has anyone solved this one?

Is there a preamble/training sequence you can search for? If so, you can use
that to get the initial frequency offset estimate to correct and then use the
PLL to track the fine phase correction.
