Carrier and Sampling Frequency Offset Estimation and Tracking in OFDM Systems

In This paper presents the proposition of the tracking algorithm of the carrier frequency and sampling frequency offsets. The algorithm uses a phase difference between channel transfer function estimates computed for the same subcarrier of two successive OFDM symbols. Proposed solution was compared, by means of computer simulation, with similar non-data aided algorithm introduced in [1]. Both schemes were tested by transmitting OFDM symbols over the Rayleigh fading channel.
