Summary: 
This letter proposes a low-complexity single frequency estimator for flat fading channels. The simplified estimator decreases the number of computations in the calculation of the autocorrelation function (AF) when compared to AF-based conventional estimators. The simplified estimator yields a comparable estimation performance to the existing estimators, while retaining the same frequency range.
