Abstract

In this paper, we compare the performance of wavelet OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and FD-OFDM(Frequency diversity OFDM) system with conventional OFDM system. Wavelet OFDM system uses wavelet transform rather than Fourier transform and contains intermediate characteristics of CDM (Code Division Multiplexing) and OFDM. In wavelet OFDM system, inter-symbol interference (ISI) can be suppressed effectively and adjacent channel interference can be also minimized well. In FD-OFDM system, each parallel branch symbol is multiplied by the orthogonal sequence and distributed into all sub-carriers. Then, each sub-carrier transmits information composed of the symbol components of all parallel branches in the given frame. FD-OFDM contains the frequency diversity characteristic and, therefore, FD-OFDM can be robust to the narrowband interference. For the comparison among different systems, BER (Bit-Error Rate) performances are evaluated in the presence of narrow-band interference and a harmonic noise channel. From the evaluation results, compared to the conventional OFDM, wavelet OFDM and FD-OFDM shows better robustness against the interference and, especially, wavelet OFDM is the most robust in harmonic noise channel.

본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 및 FD-OFDM(Frequency Diversity OFDM) 시스템과 일반 OFDM 시스템의 성능을 비교 분석 한다. 푸리에 변환에 기반하는 일반 OFDM방식과는 달리 웨이블릿 OFDM 방식은 웨이블릿 변환을 사용하며, CDM (Code Division Multiplexing)과 OFDM의 중간적인 특성을 통해 심볼간 간섭을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있으며 채널간 간섭 역시 최소화 할 수 있다. FD-OFDM 방식의 경우, 각 병렬 브랜치에 입력된 심볼들이 직교 시퀀스로 곱해진 뒤 모든 부반송파에 분배되고, 각 부반송파는 주어진 프레임에서 각 병렬 브랜치의 심볼 조각들의 합의형태로 이루어진 정보를 전달한다. FD-OFDM의 한 부반송파 내에 포함된 모든 심볼들은 직교 시퀀스에 의해 구별되며, 간섭에 강하며 주파수 다이버시티 특성을 가진다는 장점을 지닌다. 협대역 간섭과 하모닉 잡음 환경에서 BER (Bit Error Rate) 성능을 통해 시스템 간 성능 비교 분석을 진행하였으며, 이를 통해 웨이블릿 OFDM과 FD-OFDM의 성능이 일반 OFDM보다 간섭에 대해 강건하고 특히 하모닉 노이즈 환경에서는 웨이블릿 OFDM이 가장 강건한 특성을 보이는 것을 알 수 있다.
