An apparatus of compensating for a frequency offset using a guard interval and a pilot symbol, which are inserted at a transmitter, in an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system. The OFDM system receives an OFDM signal in which a pilot symbol is inserted in data of a frame unit at regular intervals and a guard interval is inserted in a data symbol. In the system, a first carrier synchronizer receives a data symbol stream obtained by converting the OFDM signal to digital data, and detects a guard interval of each data symbol, to compensate for a coarse frequency offset. A fast Fourier transform part OFDM-demodulates a signal output from the first carrier synchronizer. A second carrier synchronizer detects the pilot symbol from the demodulated data symbol stream to compensate for a fine frequency error. |
