Estimation of the symbol period : the frequency offset case

International audienceWe address the blind equalization of a telecommunication signal, the characteristics of which are totally un-known (channel, symbol period, alphabet of the sym-bols, frequency offset). In [1] was proposed a method-ology originating from deconvolution ideas, for jointly estimating the symbol period and the emitted symbols. In this contribution, we show that the presence of a fre-quency offset does not alter this approach. Simulation results illustrate the robustness of the T s estimate with respect to the frequency offset
