1. An equalization method suitable for use in a receiver in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system utilizing
a plurality of sub-carriers, wherein the receiver includes an outer receiver for decoding, the method comprising:
receiving an input signal including at least one preamble symbol containing a training sequence and a plurality of informative
OFDM symbols each containing a serial stream of samples;
performing compensations for each of the informative OFDM symbols, including
converting the serial stream of samples into parallel samples,
performing a fast Fourier transform (FFT) of the parallel samples to obtain, in the frequency spectrum, a plurality of data
symbols, wherein each data symbol corresponds to a sub-carrier,
compensating the data symbols for at least one first phase distortion,
compensating the data symbols for at least one second phase distortion; and
providing at least one amplitude distortion factor to the outer receiver.
