Hi, does anyone know of any good tutorials that explain how to lock onto the 
clock of a QPSK signal and/or correlate? I know this is all very simple in 
GNUradio, but I hope someone knows of a website or, preferably, a video series 
that will explain this.

If I have 10 different QPSK users, spreaded and on the same frequency, that 
would make CDMA. Assuming no manufacturing tolerance or frequency drift, all 
the clocks on the transmitters would be perfectly the same. What I’m trying to 
understand is:

1. No two separate transmitters can ever be perfectly in sync. Even if the 
clocks were 100% accurate, User 1 might start his transmitter at 10:00:00 AM 
while User 2 starts his at 10:00:00.250 AM. The signals would be a little out 
of sync with each other. How would I pick one out in DSP?
2. I’ve heard of “clock recovery”, which implies to me that you “look” at a 
signal to find its clock, but surely you must have at least a very close idea 
of the desired clock before you can begin, right? If you had 3 different CDMA 
signals  but different chip rates, they could probably coexist nicely, but how 
would you pick out the faster signal or the slower one? (see picture)

Please advise if my current understanding is erroneous. Thank you in advance.
