Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for identifying frequency offsets which may for example have been introduced after a signal has been transmitted over a wireless channel. The method involves sampling a received signal having an input bandwidth to generate a respective set of samples for each of a plurality of symbol periods; filtering the sets of samples using DWPT (discrete wavelet packet transform) filters to produce a plurality of sub-sampled outputs, the sub-sampled outputs each having a respective fraction of the input bandwidth; for each of the sub-sampled outputs, performing a narrowband FFT on the sub-sampled output produced over a plurality of symbol periods to generate a respective set of frequency domain samples; processing each set of frequency domain samples to determine at least one respective frequency offset.
