Abstract
In this paper, the performance analysis results of time/frequency synchronization and cell search algorithm are presented for aeronautical mobile airport communication systems (AeroMACS). AeroMACS is based on IEEE 802.16e mobile WiMAX standard and uses the aeronautical frequency band of 5GHz with the bandwidth of 5MHz. The simulation model of AeroMACS is designed and the performance evaluation is conducted with the various airport channel models such as apron (APR), runway (RWY), taxiway (TWY), and park (PRK). The proposed synchronization unit was designed in hardware description language (HDL) and implemented on FPGA. Also, the real-time operation was verified and evaluated using FPGA test system.
