This paper proposes a frequency offset estimation scheme with low-complexity for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based cognitive radio (CR) systems. The proposed scheme is applicable to any type of training symbol and has a lower complexity than the scheme in [9] by using the partial periodogram. Simulation results show that the estimation performance of the proposed scheme is almost the same as that of the scheme in [9].

OFDM(orthogonal frequency division modulation)은 주파수 선택적인 페이딩 환경에서 높은 전송율과 빠른 속도를 가지는 효율적인 전송 기법이다. 그러나 OFDM 심볼이 시작되는 지점을 정확히 찾지 못하면 시간 영역에서 위상회전으로 인해 수신 데이터의 BER(bit error rate)이 높아질 수 있다. QPSK(quadrature phase shift king)변조를 이용한 OFDM 시스템에선 정수배의 샘플 옵셋만 아니라 소수배의 샘플 옵셋까지 보상하여 동기를 획득해야 한다. QPSK 심볼 복조 시 소수배의 샘플 옵셋이 잔존할 경우 시스템의 수신 성능은 떨어지기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 QPSK변조를 이용한 OFDM 시스템에서 소수배의 샘플 옵셋이 존재할 경우 동기를 획득하는 방법에 대해 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 심볼 타이밍 동기 방법은 수신된 트레이닝 심볼의 상관관계를 이용하여 0.5 샘플 이전과 이후의 충격응답을 각각 구하여 이들을 차를 이용하여 동기를 획득한다. 제안한 심볼 타이밍 동기 기법의 성능은 멀티패스의 모델화 채널을 적용한 모의실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

One of the principal disadvantages of multicarrier modulation technique is the sensitivity to the frequency offset introduced by Doppler shift. This frequency offset introduces inter-carrier interference (ICI) among the multiplicity of carriers in the multicarrier modulated signal. However, Doppler spread induced by temporal channel variations can Provide another means for diversity. In this paper, we propose a modified multicarrier code division multiple access (CDMA) system to exploit Doppler diversity as well as multipath diversity. The key work of our framework is a canonical time-frequency-based decomposition of the mobile wireless channel into series of independent fading channel. The decomposition naturally leads to a time-frequency generalization of the Rake receiver that exploits both multipath and Doppler diversity.

The purpose of this paper is to design the architecture for synchronization of MB-OFDM UWB system that is being processed the standardization for Alt-PHY of WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network) at IEEE802.15.3a and to analyze the implementation loss due to 4 parallel synchronization architecture for design or link margin. First an overview of the MB-OFDM UWB system based on IEEE802.15.3a Alt-PHY standard is described. The effects of non-ideal transmission conditions of the MB-OFDM UWB system including carrier frequency offset and sampling clock offset are analyzed to design a full digital architecture for synchronization. The synchronization architecture using 4-parallel structure is then proposed to consider the VLSI implementation including algorithms for carrier frequency offset and sampling clock offset to minimize the effects of synchronization errors. The overall performance degradation due to the proposed synchronization architecture is simulated to be with maximum 3.08 dB of the ideal receiver in maximum carrier frequency offset and sampling clock offset tolerance fir MB-OFDM UWB system.

In this paper, circuit of reducing the offset voltage in Op-amp, effectively, is newly proposed by using dual capacitor. Capacitors and MOS switches are added in proposed circuit to make up for the weak points of previous circuits ofr reducing the offset voltage in auto-zeroing method. Also, it is designed to reduce the offset voltage in high frequency range by using chopping method, effectively. Circuit simulation and layout are executed by TSMC 1.8V, 0.18um process. From the simulation results, it is verified that magnitude of offset voltage is under 5mV and proposed circuit is good for compensation of offset voltage better than previous auto-zeroing method.

본 논문에서는 DVB-T (digital video broadcasting-terrestrial) 수신기의 동기화 알고리듬과 각 동기단 사이의 연동 알고리듬을 제안한다. OFDM( orthohonal frequency division multiplexing) 수신단에서는 프레임 동기, 반송파 동기, 심볼 타이밍 동기가 요구되어진다. 기존의 반송파 동기 방법은 부반송파 간격의 정수배 주파수 옵셋 보상 후 잔존해 있는 주파수 옵셋이 -0.5×(부반송파 간격) 혹은 +0.5×(부반송파 간격)에 가까운 값을 가질 때 많은 시간이 소요되는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 시스템의 복잡도를 그대로 유지 하면서 초기 동기화 시간을 줄일 수 있는 반송파 동기 알고리듬을 제안한다. 그리고 DVB-T모드를 추정하는 알고리듬을 제안하고 반송파 동기 추적루프와 심볼 타이밍 동기 추적루프를 동시에 동작시킴으로써 초기 동기화 시간을 추가적으로 줄일 수 있는 심볼 타이ALD 동기 알고리듬을 제안한다. 그리고 전체 수신기 모델의 연동 방안을 제시한다.

In this paper, we propose an automatic modulation recognition algorithm based on cyclic moment and new modified cumulant for analog and digital modulation signals. It is noteworthy that each modulated signal has different cycle frequency characteristics according to its order of cyclic moment. By means of this characteristics as classification features, various modulated signals can be efficiently classified. Also, to identify modulated signals having the same cycle frequency characteristics, we take advantage of the additional classification factors such as variations of envelope and phase as well as modified cumulant. The proposed algorithm was evaluated by considering the number of symbols, SNR, and frequency offset. In the simulation condition where the number of gathered symbols was about 819, and SNR and frequency offset were above 10dB and below 25%, respectively, the average accuracy of the proposed algorithm was more than 95%.

In this paper, we propose a timing recovery loop for Inmarsat mini-m system downlink receiver. Inmarsat mini-m system requires a timing recovery loop which is robust in frequency offset and has fast acquisition because Inmarsat mini-m system specification requires frequency tolerance is required of ${\pm}924$ Hz (signal bandwidth: 2.4 kHz) and acquisition time of UW (Unique Word) signal duration (15ms).Therefore, we propose a timing recovery loop which is suitable for Inmarsat mini-m system. The proposed timing recovery loop adopted noncoherent UW detector and differential ELD which applied differential UW signal for stability and fast acquisition in frequency offset environment. Simulation results show that the proposed timing recovery loop has stable operation and fast acquisition in frequency offset environment for the system.

In OFDMA system, multiple users transmit signal through the subcarriers assigned to the user. Capabilities of high data-rate transmission in OFDMA system come from the ability to compensate the ICI (Inter Carrier Interference) using a single-tap equalizer and to implement transmitter and receiver by employing high speed FFT circuitry. Issues of time and frequency synchronization in OFDM system is quite essential to preserve the orthogonality among subcarriers not to produce ICI. In this paper, we Int analyze the preamble used in 802.16 d/e and WiBro system. Then we propose an effective timing synchronization algorithm, which is more accurate than the conventional one in the sense of timing position, and integral frequency offset estimation scheme for the simultaneouse estimation of the fractional and integral frequency offset. Through the simulation utilizing the proposed synchronization algorithm and structure, we show that the performance degradation due to the adjacent channel interference can be mitigated for the than conventional ones.
