= Frame Synchronizer (polyphase filter bank) =
This component recovers both symbol timing and carrier phase information using a polyphase filter bank for simultaneous matched filtering and decimation.  It is an extension of the MultirateSynchronizer component in that it adds an initial synchronization period to find the beginning of the frame...
