Synchronization and Channel Estimation in OFDM Systems

  • Published : 2007.08.20

Abstract

차세대 이동 통신 시스템은 다양한 응용 분야들을 지원하기 위하여 광대역을 사용한 고속 데이터 전송이 가능해야 할 것이다. 이와 같은 요구 사항을 효율적으로 대처할 수 있는 중요한 전송 방식중의 하나가 OFDM (Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 기법이며, 여러 국제 표준단체에서 차세대 전송 방식의 중요 후보로써 채택하여 심도깊은 연구가 진행되고 있는 실정이다. 본 고에서는 OFDM 전송 방식의 기본적인 특징을 살펴보고, OFDM 시스템 상에서 동기 획득 (Synchronization) 및 채널 추정 (Channel estimation)을 위하여 사용될 수 있는 기본적인 알고리즘들에 대하여 간략히 소개하고 그 특징을 살펴본다.
