Abstract

This paper proposes a symbol synchronization method in the IEEE 802.11a wireless OPDM system, which uses only signs of the in-phase and the quadrature signals in the short preamble. The short preamble is sampled with 2 tines of Nyquist sampling rate and both of the autocorrelation and the cross-relation are used in the proposed method. This method has some advantages that the ACG (Automatic Gain Control) can be processed concurrently during the short preamble and its implementation is not much complicated. The proposed symbol synchronization method is verified through simulations on frequency offset, multi-path and white Gaussian noise.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11a의 OPDM 시스템에서 짧은 훈련신호(Short Preamble)의 I(inphase)와 Q(quadrature) 성분의 부호만을 사용한 심볼동기 기법을 제시한다. 이 심블동기 기법에서는 짧은 훈련신호를 2배의 Nyquist 속도로 표본화하고 자기상관(autocorrelation)과 상호상관(cross-correlation)을 모두 적용한다. 이 동기기법의 장점은 짬은 훈련신호 동안에 수신신호의 ACG(automatic gain control)를 병행할 수 있고 그 구현회로도 복잡하지 않다는 것이다. 무선채널의 다중경로, 송수신기의 편차주파수, 그리고 잡음에 대한 모의실험을 통하여 제시된 심볼동기 기법의 성능을 검증한다.
