Abstract

It is important to design the high-speed communication system in the hostile channel. Due to the frequency diversity, FD-OFDM that can be used for the high-speed communication is more robust to the noise or interference than ordinary OFDM. However, even the FD-OFDM becomes degraded in th ε strong narrow band interference channel. In this paper, we propose an AFD-OFDM system and analyze the communication performances in order to find out the more robust communication system in the hostile channel. So, the AFD-OFDM system can cover the drawback of the FD-OFDM and improve the BER performance than FD-OFDM. From the simulation results, FD-OFDM shows better performance than the ordinary OFDM. Furthermore, AFD-OFDM shows more excellent performance than FD-OFDM in the strong narrow interference channel.

열악한 채널 환경에서도 고속으로 통신하는 시스템을 설계하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 고속의 정보 전송이 가능한 FD-OFDM(Frequency Diversity Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 통신 시스템은 주파수 다이버시티 특성을 가지므로 일반 OFDM 보다 채널에서 발생하는 잡음이나 간섭에 대항하는 능력이 좋다. 그러나 FD-OFDM 시스템도 협대역 잡음이나 간섭에 성능이 매우 나빠진다. 본 논문에서는 강한 협대역 간섭에도 잘 대처할 수 있는 AFD(Adaptive Frequency Diversity)-OFDM 통신 시스템을 제안하고 통신 성능을 분석한다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 일반 OFDM 방식보다 FD-OFDM 방식은 상당한 성능 개선을 보인다. 또한, AFD-OFDM은 강력한 간섭이 있을 때, FD-OFDM 보다 더 우수한 성능을 보인다.
