Popis: In this paper, we propose robust blind estimators for the frequency offset of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing in non-Gaussian noise environments. We first propose a maximum likelihood (ML) estimator in non-Gaussian noise modeled as a complex isotropic Cauchy process, and then, a simpler estimator based on the ML estimator is proposed. From numerical results, we confirm that the proposed estimators are robust to the non-Gaussian noise and have a better estimation performance over the conventional estimator in non-Gaussian noise environments.
