Hm, this will be hard to get right. After all, the Schmidl & Cox is an
estimator and operates on noisy values. Unless your SNR is crazy good,
there is always a chance of getting it wrong. And technically, even then.

Two ideas:
- You could remove the sync block and sync your rx/tx paths with other
means (e.g. MIMO connector, it depends on your hardware). This makes the
sync influence independent of the noise.

- Reconsider if the phase rotation really makes your measurements
invalid. You'll have a phase rotation in any case (due to channel,
propagation time etc.). The timing-related phase offset is constant,
after all, and the phase difference between sub-carriers depends on the
sub-carrier distance, too. Perhaps it doesn't matter all that much?
