The invention relates to a
frequency offset estimation method and
system for a burst-mode
signal. The method comprises the steps of extracting
pilot frequency information of each segment in a received burst frame to obtain at least two segments of initial
pilot frequency sequences; according to the
pilot frequency information of each segment of initial pilot frequency sequence and standard pilot frequency information, generating target pilot frequency sequences; carrying out
phase angle obtaining
processing on the target pilot frequency sequences to obtain
phase angle sequences; segmenting the
phase angle sequences and setting a spacing between each two adjacent phase angle sequences; and according to a difference of two adjacent phase angle values in the phase angle sequences, calculating a series of
frequency offset estimated values. According to the scheme of estimating the
frequency offset of the burst-mode
signal, which is provided by the invention, under the condition that each segment of pilot frequency sequence in a burst sequence in short burst communication is relatively short, by
processing each segment of pilot frequency sequence, frequency offset
estimation can be carried out through utilizing multiple segments of pilot frequency information, and each segment of pilot frequency sequence is not requested to have an equal length, and thus, a frequency offset value of the short burst frame can be accurately estimated, and frequency offset
estimation accuracy under the condition of a low
signal-to-
noise ratio can be improved.
