Abstract

In this paper, we propose two efficient symbol detection algorithms for space-frequency OFDM (SF-OFDM) transmit diversity scheme. When the number of sub-carriers in SF-OFBM scheme is small, the interference between adjacent sub-carriers may be generated. The proposed algorithms eliminate this interference in a parallel or sequential manlier and achieve a considerable performance improvement over the conventional detection algorithm. The bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed detection algorithms is evaluated by the simulation. In the case of 2 transmit and 2 receive antennas, at $BER=10^{-4}$ the proposed algorithms achieve the gain improvement of about 3 dB. The symbol detectors with the proposed algorithms are designed in a hardware description language and synthesized to gate-level circuits with the $0.18{\mu}m$ 1.8V CMOS standard cell library. With the division-free architecture, the proposed SF-OFDM-PIC and SF-OFDM-SIC symbol detectors can be implemented using 140k and 129k logic gates, respectively.

본 논문에서는 공간-주파수 OFDM (SF-OFDM) 전송 다이버시티 기법을 위한 효율적인 심볼 검출 알고리즘이 제안되었다. SF-OFDM 전송 다이버시티 기법에서 부반송파의 수가 적은 경우 부채널간 간섭이 발생하게 되며, 이러한 간섭은 다이버시티 시스템의 성능을 크게 저하시킨다. 제안된 알고리즘은 부채널간 간섭을 병렬 혹은 순차적으로 제거함으로써 기존 알고리즘에 비해 큰 성능 이득을 얻는다. 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통한 비트오류율 (BER) 성능 평가 결과. 두개의 송수신 안테나를 사용하는 경우, $10^{-4}$의 BER에서 약 3 dB의 성능 이득을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 제안된 알고리즘이 적용된 심볼 검출기는 하드웨어 설계 언어를 통해 설계되었고, $0.18{\mu}m$ 1.8V CMOS 표준 셀 라이브러리를 이용하여 합성되었다. 제시된 하드웨어 구조와 함께 설계된 SF-OFDM-PIC 심볼 검출기는 약 140K개의 논리 게이트로 구성되었고, SF-OFDM-SIC 검출기는 129K개의 논리 게이트로 합성되었다.
