Abstract
The estimation of carrier frequency offset (CFO) is an important issue for OFDM systems. Many CFO estimation methods have been proposed in the past. In particular, two ESPRIT-based methods were introduced for blind CFO estimations. These ESPRIT-based methods can provide satisfactory performance at a reasonable implementation cost. In this paper, we propose a least-squares (LS) algorithm for improving the performance of these ESPRIT-based methods. Simulation results show that the proposed LS algorithm, although very simple, can significantly improve the accuracy of CFO estimation.
