Abstract: There are provided an apparatus for synchronizing an OFDM signal using an open-loop frequency synchronization method, which can estimate and compensate for various types of frequency errors generated in a frequency modulation broadcasting/communication system to which the open-loop frequency synchronization method is applied, and a frequency offset estimation scheme using the apparatus. To this end, the apparatus for synchronizing an OFDM signal using the open-loop frequency synchronization method comprises a time offset estimator, a time offset compensator, a fractional frequency offset estimator, an integer frequency offset estimator, a frequency offset controller and a frequency offset compensator.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-channel signal receiver technology. An RF front-end in an RF receiver receiving at least two RF signals with different transmission bandwidths includes: at least two RF tuners receiving, amplifying, and frequency-converting the at least two RF signals, respectively; a switch selecting one of signals output from the at least two RF tuners; a channel filter eliminating interference signals included in a signal output from the switch, and passing a signal of a transmission band; an ADC converting the signal output from the channel filter into a digital signal; a fixed sampling frequency generator generating and transferring a fixed sampling frequency to the ADC. In the RF front-end, by processing filtering and sampling of signals with a narrow transmission bandwidth through a residual calculation capacity of a digital processor a construction of an RF front-end may be simplified and manufacturing costs may be reduced.

Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for preventing data read error for OFDM symbol demodulation. An average time synchronization offset estimating unit estimates average time synchronization offset between a pilot symbol of a time synchronized data frame and pilot symbols of data frames next to the time synchronized data frame. A data buffer control unit acquires a start location of a data frame to be read using the estimated average time synchronization offset, and controls reading of written data frames using the acquired start location information of the data frame to be read. In the apparatus and the method, a data buffering using a ring buffer construction may compensate time synchronization offset of samples containing real data in an OFDM symbol and prevent an erroneous read error in order to improve a receiving performance of a receiver.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for receiving a T-DMB signal.
