English to French Tech/Engineering Telecom(munications) In a patent: distributed pilot signal , OFDM, subcarrier signal

-frequency domain signal comprising a plurality of populated frequency bins containing respective subcarrier signals each including a constituent data signal of the OFDM data signal and component pilot signal of the distributed pilot signal.
-An average magnitude of the populated frequency bins is determined and used to estimate the pilot signal magnitude based on a predetermined relationship between the magnitudes of the data and pilot signals.
-In the example of a 16-point FFT shown in Fig. 1, each of numbered bins k = 1 through 7 and -1 through -7 of the combined FFT is "populated" with both a discrete sub-carrier of the OFDM data signal and a component of the distributed pilot signal, such that every frequency bin within a band-limited constraint is used to transmit both data and pilot signals (all available subcarriers within a selected bandwidth transport the data and pilot signals).
