Symbol Synchronization for Wirelss LAN Systems  

Park, Seung-kuk (Dept.of Information Communication Engineering, University of Incheon)
Abstract
The performance of a symbol timing estimator for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is analyzed. The expected value and the variance of the timing metric at the correct symbol timing are derived. The performance degradation of the timing estimator due to multipath fading and fractional timing offset is also presented.
