A zig-zag Gardner algorithm with parallel architecture is presented in this letter. This algorithm performs timing adjustment in each individual burst independently for high speed wireless burst communication with a short guard. Over sampling data are stored in RAM initially and read forward and backward alternately later. The proposed algorithm has distinct symmetric characteristic in the forward and backward process, which makes the alternate sequences achieve nearly the same effect as a continuous sequence. The performance of the proposed algorithm is very close to the theoretical curve.
