Abstract: A mobile channel estimation algorithm is disclosed, for use in a DVB-H coded OFDM demodulator. The mobile channel estimation algorithm estimates the mobile channel transfer function, overcoming many of the delay spread limitations without using time filtering and without having to collect many OFDM symbols. Once the channel estimate has been found for each symbol, equalization and inter-carrier-interference cancellation may be carried out relatively easily using known methods. The mobile channel estimation algorithm may be used in DVB-H as well as in other areas of OFDM.
