     * \details
     * This is an extremely simple equalizer. It will only work for
     * high-SNR, very, very slowly changing channels.
     *
     * It simply divides the signal with the currently known channel
     * state. Whenever a pilot symbol comes around, it updates the
     * channel state on that particular carrier by dividing the
     * received symbol with the known pilot symbol.
