APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CHANNEL EQUALIZATION IN ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEXING SYSTEM, AND DMB RECEIVERS

摘要

An apparatus and a method for equalizing the reception channel in an OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) transmission system and a DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) receiving apparatus applying the same are provided to improve the performance of mobile reception in a transmission system in which pilot signal is not used. A channel estimator(520) estimates channel as a symbol unit with the reference signal received from the standard signal creation part(550). A channel filtering part(530) removes the noises of the presumed channel value. A channel equalization part(540) equalizes the channel by using the estimation channel value. The channel estimator estimates the PRS(Phase Reference Symbol) of the received frame by the reference signal.
