Abstract

A frequency error correction device for an OFDM receiver is proposed. The receiver receives an OFDM signal with a preamble section and a payload section including pilot carriers. The frequency error correction device includes a first frequency correction unit for correcting a relative phase error in a predetermined period of time based upon a frequency error in the preamble section of the OFDM signal in time domain, and a second frequency correction unit for correcting a remaining phase error in every predetermined period of time based upon the pilot carriers of the OFDM signal in frequency domain.
