A device for the reception of digital data broadcast at a high bit rate for reception by mobile receivers is disclosed. The device operates under adverse conditions of multiple propagation corresponding to the Rayleigh process and imperfect frequency tuning to minimize the inter-symbol interference in the frequency domain. The device receives a digital signal having digital elements distributed in the frequency-time space f-t and transmitted in the form of symbols each constituted by a multiplex of N orthogonal carrier frequencies modulated by a set of digital elements and broadcast simultaneously. The device includes a module for transposition by a local oscillator, baseband filtering and analog-digital conversion, a temporal windowing module for the selection of the useful samples and a mathematical transformation module, the temporal windowing module applying a Nyquist window type of temporal window with non-zero roll-off.
