Abstract
The present invention describes an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing, OFDM, transmitter and a method for embedding phase reference symbols into an OFDM symbol. The invention comprises a single-carrier pre-processing unit arranged to receive phase reference symbols and provide pre-processed phase reference samples as output and an OFDM modulator arranged to receive data symbols and the pre-processed phase reference samples as input and map the data symbols to sub-carriers and embed the single-carrier samples into a frequency sub-band of the OFDM symbol. While the invention particularly relates to an OFDM communication system, it should be noted that it could be applicable to any type of multicarrier communication system.
