Abstract: A receiver for a multi-carrier communication system receives training pilot carriers (TRPC) during a training symbol (T1, T2) which precedes data symbols (DS) which have data carriers (DC) and data pilot carriers (PC). The receiver has a correction unit (171) which supplies, under control of a control signal (CEC), a corrected signal (CDC1) which has the data carriers (DC) which are corrected for a common amplitude error and/or common phase error.

Abstract: A receiver for a multi-carrier communication system has a channel corrector (173) which receives an input signal (CDC2) and a correction control signal (EC) to correct an amplitude and/or phase of the input signal (CDC2) to obtain a corrected signal (ED). A channel estimator (19) has a slicer (190) which performs a hard-decision on the corrected signal (ED) to obtain a decided signal (HDS). The correction control signal (EC) is dependent on a difference between the input signal (CDC2) and the decided signal (HDS) to decrease said difference.
