Abstract
A receiver and a method for providing block synchronization of symbols and integral frequency offset correction of subcarriers are provided. Samples of a received signal are transformed into the frequency domain. Subcarrier extraction is performed to extract selected subcarriers. The extracted subcarriers are differentially demodulated using subcarriers from the previous symbol and coherently combined with reference subcarrier values to obtain sample vectors. The sample vectors are obtained over a number of symbols preferably equal to the number symbols in a block. Cyclic correlation is performed on those sample vectors relative to a known synchronization (sync) pattern. A maximum magnitude search is performed over sample vectors obtained from the cyclic correlation to determine an integral frequency offset and a block boundary of the received signal. The integral frequency offset and the block boundary can be used to tune and synchronize the receiver for proper reception of the received signal.
