In a method for correlative estimation of a mobile radio channel on the basis of a training sequence (TS) which is transmitted via the mobile radio channel, a sequence of P received symbols is correlated with a subsequence of length P of the training sequence, in order to calculate a first estimated channel coefficient (h.sub.0.sup.(1)). Furthermore, the same sequence of P received symbols is correlated with at least some of the subsequences of the training sequence (TS) shifted through .+-.1, .+-.2, . . . , .+-.(Lt-1) symbol positions, in order to calculate a number of further estimated channel coefficients (h.sub..+-.1.sup.(1),h.sub..+-.2.sup.(1), . . . ,h.sub..+-.(Lt-1).sup.(1)).
