Abstract
An apparatus for sampling clock recovery (SCO) and methods for estimating and compensating SCO are provided. The apparatus comprises a symbol timing adjustment module for shifting forward or backward symbol timing of the transmitted OFDM symbols; a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) processor for performing DFT to an output from the symbol timing adjustment module; a channel estimator for undertaking a channel frequency response estimation based on a channel estimation sequence; a SCO phase rotator for receiving and performing phase shift on the transmitted OFDM symbols of a frame header and a frame payload; an SCO estimation stage for undertaking an SCO estimation based on a pilot-subcarrier-related output of the SCO phase rotator and the CFR estimation; and an SCO compensation distributor for dividing the SCO estimation into integer and fractional portions and then distributing them into the symbol timing adjustment module and the SCO phase rotator, respectively.
