Abstract

A transceiver system and method in an OFDM communication system which enables exact symbol synchronization acquisition and improves performance for frequency offset and channel estimation. In the apparatus, a guard interval filling unit copies data at a predetermined interval in an input data row inputted to be transmitted, and fills in the copied data in the preset guard interval in the input data row. A selection unit selectively receives an output data row outputted from the guard interval filling means and unique words having a constant amplitude and a non-periodic auto-correlation characteristic, and outputs the OFDM symbol in which the unique words are inserted in the output data row.
