A non-data-aided method of calculating an estimate of the sampling frequency offset (SFO) in a digital receiver involves performing a plurality of correlations between two identical sized groups of samples within a received signal where the spacing of the groups is varied for each correlation. In various examples the number of samples in the groups is also varied. For larger symbols, the group of samples may comprise approximately the same number of samples as the guard interval in a symbol and for smaller symbols, the group of samples may comprise approximately the same number of samples as an entire symbol. An estimate of the SFO is determined by identifying the largest correlation result obtained from all the correlations performed. The largest correlation result indicates the largest correlation.
