A communication device is provided that is capable of operating in an OFDM
or communication system and that provides for cancellation of in-band
spurs. The communication device identifies a bin of multiple bins
associated with an output of an inverse transformer and comprising a spur
and estimates one or more spur phase parameters and a spur amplitude in
association with the identified bin. In one embodiment of the present
invention, the one or more spur phase parameters includes a spur initial
phase and a spur change rate. When the communication device receives a
signal from another communication device, the communication device
transforms the received signal to produce a multiple parallel output
signals that are each associated with a bin of the multiple bins and
cancels a spur in an output signal associated with the identified bin
based on the estimated one or more spur phase parameters and spur
amplitude.
