    Abstract: An apparatus for estimating carrier frequency offset for multipath signals includes an echo signal filtering circuit, an Mth power circuit, a spectrum generating circuit, a peak frequency determining circuit and a frequency offset determining circuit. The echo signal filtering circuit filters out an echo signal from an input signal to generate a filtered signal. The Mth power circuit performs an Mth power calculation on the filtered signal to generate an Mth power calculation result. The spectrum generating circuit generates an Mth power spectrum according to the Mth power calculation result. The peak frequency determining circuit determines a peak frequency corresponding to an amplitude peak from the Mth power spectrum. The frequency offset determining circuit determines an estimated carrier frequency offset according to the peak frequency.

    Abstract: A receiver circuit capable of correcting an estimation of a signal-noise characteristic value (e.g., SNR) is provided. The receiver circuit includes an equalizer, a slicer, an estimation circuit and a correction circuit. The equalizer provides an equalized signal according to a received signal. The slicer interprets digital information in the equalized signal and accordingly provides a sliced signal. The estimation circuit provides an initial signal-noise characteristic value according to a difference between the equalized signal and the sliced signal. The correction circuit provides a corresponding correction value according to the initial signal-noise characteristic value, and corrects the initial signal-noise characteristic value according to the corresponding correction value to generate a corrected signal-noise characteristic value.
