1. A method for estimating, and compensating for phase jitter imposed on a received multicarrier signal by imperfect components in a transmission medium, said method comprising the steps of:

  • (a) multiplying said multicarrier signal received during a time interval by a locally generated correcting signal to produce a corrected received multicarrier signal, in which said locally generated correcting signal is an estimate of the phase shift required to correct for the effects of said phase jitter;

    (b) generating a reference signal by demodulating and then decoding said corrected multicarrier signal to produce an estimate of the transmitted data, and then remodulating said data to produce a reference signal;

    (c) calculating a phase-error signal which is the difference between the phase of said correcting multicarrier signal and that of said reference signal;

    (d) filtering the calculated phase-error signal of step (b) to generate an estimate of the changes required to the parameters of said locally generated correcting signal, said parameters being the amplitudes, frequencies, and phases of a plurality of components of said correcting signal, or any equivalent set which contains the same information;

    (e) updating the parameters of step (d) by said changes to generate new parameters of said correcting signal; and

    (f) repeating steps (a) to (e) in each subsequent time interval.
