Abstract
In a process for demodulation of a received signal that contains, in addition to data to be transmitted, a preset synchronization sequence, the following is done to estimate a frequency shift. At least two nonoverlapping partial sequences of the synchronization sequence are picked off. Using a least-square process, the coefficients of the channel step response at each observation window are determined. The frequency shift, in the form of a phase rotation per symbol, is then estimated.
