Method for determining the useful data constellation at the receiving end of a multicarrier signal modulated according to the DVB-T standard for the calculation of the residual carrier performance or improvement of the demodulation

摘要

The aim of the invention is to determine the user data constellation of a multi-carrier signal at the receiving end. Said signal is QAM modulated in the 2K mode according to the DVB-T standard and is provided with a central carrier that is situated in the centre of the individual carriers and is temporarily modulated with user data and temporarily represents a distributed pilot. To resolve the aim of the invention, the appearance frequency of all I/Q values pertaining to the portion of user data belonging to the central carrier is detected and the centre of said user data constellation is then detected.
