A receiver for recovering data from a received symbol of signal samples
generated in accordance with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
(OFDM), the OFDM symbol including pilot carrier signals, the receiver
including a pilot assisted channel estimator comprising a pilot extractor
configured to extract the pilot carrier signals from the signal samples,
and to generate an estimate of a sample of a channel frequency response
for each of the pilot carrier signals in the received OFDM symbol, by
comparing the extracted pilot carrier signals with predetermined versions
of the pilot carrier signals, and a frequency interpolation filter
configured to interpolate the samples of the channel frequency response
estimate, and a filter controller, the frequency response of the
frequency interpolation filter including a pass bandwidth which is
adjustable, and the filter controller configured to adjust the bandwidth
of the frequency interpolation filter to reduce noise in the estimate of
channel frequency response.
