Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1221794A1] The invention relates to a reception arrangement for receiving multicarrier symbols, each multicarrier symbol (S1, S2, S3) comprising a plurality of single carrier symbols, each symbol modulating a respective carrier frequency (f1, f2, f3). The single carrier symbols are transmitted simultaneously. The arrangement comprises means for detecting phase error of each single carrier and means for correcting the phase of a sampling clock (52) in view of the estimated error. The means for estimating phase error comprise means (581 ... 58N, 24, 40) for determining a parameter êi for a carrier fi according to the following formula: <MATH> wherein ri_k is the detected signal for the single carrier at a time t, ai_k is the corresponding symbol at the same time t, ai_k-1 and ri_k-1 correspond, respectively, to ai_k and ri_k at time t-NT, NT being the duration of transmission of a multicarrier symbol, and EÄ Ü means an average value on several successive symbols. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
