 * \brief OFDM frame equalizer
 * \ingroup ofdm_blk
 *
 * \details
 * Performs equalization in one or two dimensions on a tagged OFDM frame.
 *
 * This does two things:
 * First, it removes the coarse carrier offset. If a tag is found on the first
 * item with the key 'ofdm_sync_carr_offset', this is interpreted as the coarse
 * frequency offset in number of carriers.
 * Next, it performs equalization in one or two dimensions on a tagged OFDM frame.
 * The actual equalization is done by a ofdm_frame_equalizer object, outside of
 * the block.
 *
 * Note that the tag with the coarse carrier offset is not removed. Blocks
 * downstream from this block must not attempt to also correct this offset.
 *
 * Input: a tagged series of OFDM symbols.
 * Output: The same as the input, but equalized and frequency-corrected.
