Joint Estimation of Carrier-Frequency and Sampling-Frequency Offsets for SC-FDE Systems on Multipath Fading Channels

With single-carrier frequency-domain equalization, the carrier-frequency and sampling-frequency offsets are embedded in the phases of complex frequency-domain signal components. This paper proposes a sub-block processing to extract the phases and applies the least-squares regression to jointly estimate the offsets. The effectiveness of the proposed SC-FDE receiver is demonstrated on multipath fading channels.
