Abstract: An OFDM receiver for interlocking FFT window position recovery with sampling clock control, and a method thereof are provided. This method includes the steps of: extracting a pilot signal from fast-Fourier-transformed OFDM received signals, and detecting inter-pilot phase differences; averaging the detected phase differences for a symbol and normalizing the mean phase difference by dividing it into reference values corresponding to phase differences generated when FFT window errors of at least one sample exist; and simultaneously controlling the FFT window position offset using a value obtained by rounding off the normalized value, and the sampling clock offset using the difference between the round-off value and the normalized value.
