Method of estimating a radio frequency offset based on sequences of predefined symbols, and receiver implementing said method

摘要

The invention concerns a method for estimating an offset between a radio frequency used by a receiver to form a baseband signal from a radio signal segment received through a communication channel and a carrier frequency of the radio signal of the segment. The radio signal segment is produced by a transmitter from a block of modulating symbols including at least two sequences of predefined symbols separated by information symbols. It consists in generating a frequency offset estimate on the basis of at least two sequences of baseband signal samples corresponding to two sequences of the block predefined symbols.
