An Improved Sampling Frequency Offset Estimator for OFDM-Based Digital Radio Mondiale Systems.

After coarse synchronization in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, there might still be a residual frequency offset (RFO) and a sampling clock frequency offset (SFO), which seriously degrade the performance of the systems. This paper suggests a simple way of estimating the SFO in OFDM-based digital radio mondiale (DRM) system. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed SFO estimator, comparisons are made with other existing estimators in terms of mean square error (MSE) performance, estimation range, and complexity.
