A method and sytem for achieving carrier frequency synchronization in a high speed receiver. A feedback loop in a carrier recovery system is operated at a down-sampled rate until carrier lock is detected. The output of a phase accumulator, operating at the down-sampled rate, is then extrapolated to provide extrapolated outputs to provide outputs at the original symbol rate.
