초록

본 논문은 COFDM 시스템에 대해 기존의 선형 보간 필터에 비해 보다 정확한 추정을 위해 가우시안 보건 필터와 입방 원형자 보간 필터가 제시되었다. 또한 보간 필터에 의한 채널 추정치의 잡음 성분을 제거하기 위해 IFFT와 FFT를 이용한 저역 통과 필터를 제시하였다. 보간 필터와 저역 통과 필터를 결합한 채널 추정치는 보간 필터만을 사용한 것에 비해 에러 바닥을 낮출 수 있다. 제시된 채널 추정 기법을 시변 다중 경로 페이딩 채널의 COFDM 시스템에 적용시켜 컴퓨터 모의 시험한 결과, 기존의 선형 보간 필터에 비해 성능이 향상됨을 보였으며, 저역 통과 필터를 결합한 경우에는 완벽한 채널 추정과 비교시 BER이 10-4일 때 Eb/No가 0.1∼0.2dB 정도 차이만이 존재한다.

In this paper, a Gaussian interpolation filter and cubic interpolation filter are presented to do more accurate channel estimation compared to the conventional linear interpolation filter for COFDM systems. In addition to an interpolation filter, a low pass filter using FFT and IFFT is also presented to reduce the noisy components of a channel estimate obtained by an interpolation filter. Channel estimates after low-pass filtering combined with interpolation filters can lower the error floor compared to the use of only interpolation filters. Computer simulation demonstrates that the presented channel estimation methods exhibit an improved performance compared to the conventional linear interpolation filter for COFDM systems in time-varying multipath fading channel and0.1 ~ 0.2 dB of Eb/No difference at BER=10-4 when the perfect channel estimation is compared.
