Abstract

The synchronization of OFDM receiver is consisted of symbol timing offset(STO) estimation in time domain and carrier frequency offset(CFO) estimation in frequency domain. This paper proposes new algorithm for correcting the integer CFO after we have done correcting the STO and partial CFO. ICFO must be corrected, since the ICFO lead to degrade bit error rate(BER) of demodulation performance. The PN sequence has information which is subcarrier order since the modified PN sequence, length is same subcarrier, is used in this paper and is modulated each subcarrier by each chip. Thus the receiver track phase of PN sequence after FFTin order to find the subcarrier frequency offset. The proposed algorithm is faster and more simple than convenient methode as measuring carrier energy.

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 수신기의 동기화는 시간영역의 심벌타이밍옵셋 추정과 주파수영역의 반송주파수옵셋 추정으로 이루어진다. 이 논문은 소수배 반송주파수옵셋 추정이 이루어진 이후 잔여의 정수배 주파수옵셋 추정에 대한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 정수배의 반송주파수 옵셋은 복조기의 BER 성능을 열화시키므로 반드시 교정되어야 한다. 여기에서 제안하는 방법은 길이가 N인 PN 시퀀스의 칩들을 OFDM 부반송파에 변조시켜서 송신하고, 수신기는 수신된 신호를 FFT 수행후 국부에서 발생된 알려진 PN 시퀀스와 비교하여 PN 시퀀스의 위상을 추적함으로 정수배의 반송주파수 옵셋을 찾는 것이다. 이것은 기존의 제안된 차동변조된 신호의 에너지를 측정하는 방법에 비해서 계산속도가 빠르며, 간단한 훈련심벌(training symbol)로 동기를 찾을 수 있는 장점이 있다.
