Abstract:
1. An OFDM signal receiving apparatus for receiving OFDM signals containing a pilot signal of known amplitude and phase, comprising: a first Fourier transform means for generating an OFDM signal in the frequency domain by a Fourier transform of the OFDM signal; a first dividing means for dividing the pilot signal contained in the frequency domain OFDM signal by a specified pilot signal, and generating a first frequency response; a window function multiplying means for multiplying the first frequency response by a window function, and generating a second frequency response; an inverse Fourier transform means for generating a first impulse response by an inverse Fourier transform of the second frequency response; a coring means for replacing data in the first impulse response less than or equal to a specified threshold value with zero signals, and generating a second impulse response; a second Fourier transform means for generating a third frequency response by a Fourier transform of the second impulse response; a window function dividing means for dividing the third frequency response by the window function, and generating a fourth frequency response; a time axis interpolation means for interpolating the fourth frequency response along the time axis, and generating a fifth frequency response; a frequency axis interpolation means for interpolating the fifth frequency response along the frequency axis, and generating a sixth frequency response; and a second dividing means for dividing the frequency domain OFDM signal by the sixth frequency response to compensate for amplitude and phase distortion introduced to the signal on the channel.
