 * This block takes the output of an FFT of a received OFDM symbol and finds the 
 * start of a frame based on two known symbols. It also looks at the surrounding
 * bins in the FFT output for the correlation in case there is a large frequency
 * shift in the data. This block assumes that the fine frequency shift has already
 * been corrected and that the samples fall in the middle of one FFT bin.
 *
 * It then uses one of those known
 * symbols to estimate the channel response over all subcarriers and does a simple 
 * 1-tap equalization on all subcarriers. This corrects for the phase and amplitude
 * distortion caused by the channel.
