1. A method for generating a pilot signal sequence for a data transmission from a transmitter to a receiver via a transmission carrier, comprising the steps of:

  • providing a first signal sequence comprising a first number, m, of signal elements and known to have a frequency spectrum with either identical or nearly identical non-zero amplitude values in a first frequency interval;

    performing an invertible first transformation of the first signal sequence into a first frequency spectrum in the first frequency interval, the first frequency spectrum comprising m first frequency samples;

    performing a second transformation of the first frequency spectrum into a second frequency spectrum comprising n frequency samples in the first frequency interval, the n frequency samples being formed by the m first frequency samples and a third number, n minus m, of additional second frequency samples, which have zero amplitude, such that the second frequency spectrum has m frequency spikes distributed over the second frequency interval; and

    performing a third transformation, which forms an inverse of the first transformation, to the second frequency spectrum to obtain a second signal sequence forming the pilot signal sequence.
