Abstract
A radio receiver of a radio communication system is configured to tune to a radio channel by generating a periodic signal, mixing the periodic signal with radio signals received from a radio transmission system and passing the mixed signal through a channel filter. The radio receiver receives, from the radio transmission system, an OFDM data signal modulated on a set of OFDM subcarriers within the tuned channel. The channel filter has a passband that is wider than the channel bandwidth of the tuned channel such that the filter passes i) said OFDM data signal, ii) an in-channel reference signal, and iii) an out-of-channel reference signal. The radio receiver comprises channel estimation logic configured to use both reference signals to calculate a channel estimate for an OFDM subcarrier within the tuned channel.
