• Use pilots to increase the reliability of the receiver
synchronization. (Increasing the performance and
robustness of the demodulator.)
• Pilots reduce the influence of phase noise in the
system.
In general it is advised to use
pilots(especially in the following cases).
• When a noticeable amount of phase
noise is present (for example LNBs with
"bad" phase noise);
• At low data rates ;
• When distortion is present on the signal,
for example due to non-linearity.
