 * \brief Very simple static equalizer for OFDM.
 * \ingroup ofdm_blk
 * \ingroup equalizers_blk
 *
 * \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.
