Abstract

We investigate the OFDM-based wireless LAN systems operating in the 60 GHz frequency band as part of the fourth-generation (4G) systems. The 60 GHz band is of much interest since this is the band in which a massive amount of spectral space has been allocated worldwide for dense wireless local communications. This paper gives an overview of 60 GHz band channel characteristics and an effect on phase noise. The performance of OFDM system is severely degraded by the local oscillator phase noise, which causes both common phase error and inter-carrier interference. In this paper, we apply phase noise suppression (PNS) algorithm that is easy for implementation to OFDM based 60 GHz wireless LAN system and analyze the SER performance. In case of using the PNS algorithm, SER performance is improved about 6 dB, 7.5 dB, respectively in 16, 64-QAM.

본 논문은 4세대 무선 통신방식의 하나인 OFDM 기반의 60 GHz 무선 랜에서의 위상잡음의 영향에 관하여 논한다. 60 GHz 주파수 대역은 광대역 전송이 가능할 뿐만 아니라 실내 무선 환경에서의 무선 링크를 밀집 시킬 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 시스템 구현이 용이한 위상잡음 억제 알고리듬을 OFDM 기반의 60 GHz 무선 랜 시스템에 적용하고 이에 따른 성능을 SER 측면에서 분석하였다. 60 GHz 대역에서 발생하는 위상잡음 환경에서 위상잡음 억제 알고리듬을 적용한 경우, 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 16-QAM, 64-QAM에서 각각 6 dB, 7.5 dB 정도의 SER 성능 향상을 보였다.
