Device for synchronizing a symbol clock during data transmission and transmission system

A transmission system, comprising:

• a transmitter;
• and
• a receiver including a device for synchronizing a symbol clock during data transmission between a transmitter and a receiver, the device including:
• an estimation component, and
• a symbol synchronizer,
• wherein:
• the estimation component is configured to:
• receive a first signal generated by the transmitter, and
• estimate, based on the first signal, a phase offset and/or a frequency offset, between a symbol clock of the transmitter, based on which the first signal is generated, and a symbol clock of the receiver, based on which the first signal is evaluated in the receiver,
• the device is configured to initialize the symbol synchronizer, which is a feedback symbol synchronizer, based on the estimated phase offset and/or the estimated frequency offset, and
• the symbol synchronizer is configured to receive a second signal generated by the transmitter, and generate an output signal based on the second signal, the output signal representing symbols synchronized with the symbol clock of the receiver that are transmitted within the second signal,
• wherein:
• the transmitter is configured to generate the first signal and the second signal based on on the symbol clock of the transmitter and to transmit the first and second signals to the receiver, and
• the receiver is configured to receive symbols representing data from the transmitter based on the first signal and the second signal.
