The rotatable phase for obtainingFollowing relation should be met:
Wherein,To takeThe function of real part,To takeThe function of imaginary part.
Because formula (2) includes that the equation in two equations and a unknown number, therefore formula (2) is excessively fixed,
The rotatable phase for being solved by two equations in the ideal caseIt is equal.But, in actual applications,
There is the interference of noise in data transmission procedure, correspondingly, the first symbol y being disturbed1And second
Symbol y2Expression formula be:
Wherein, ν1And ν2It is multiple noise.
Now, two equations in formula (2) are solvedValue may be unequal.In embodiments of the present invention,

It is very close to.For example, carrying the subcarrier of the first pilot signal on frequency domain and carrying the second pilot signal
Subcarrier be adjacent sub-carrier in same FBMC symbols, so, two subcarriers are each corresponded to
Pilot channel can be approximate regard identical pilot channel as.And for example, the first pilot signal and second
Position of the pilot signal in time domain is respectively identical sub-carrier positions in adjacent FBMC symbols, then and
The corresponding pilot channel of one pilot signal pilot channel corresponding with the second pilot signal approximate can be regarded as
It is identical pilot channel.
