본 논문에서는 제한된 통신 채널의 대역에서 주파수 효율이 높은 OFDM 시스템을 위한 반송파 주파수 동기 알고리즘을 제안한다. OFDM 시스템에서의 반송파 주파수 옵셋은 부반송파 간격의 정수배와 소수배로 나누어진다 소수배 주파수 옵셋이 ± 0.5 근처의 값을 가질 경우에는 정확한 정수배 주파수 옵셋 추정이 어렵고 반송파 동기 PLL이 소수배 주파수 옵셋을 추적하는데 많은 시간이 소요된다. 제안한 알고리즘은 정수배 주파수 옵셋을 제거하기 위해 2개의 심볼 만을 이용하고 다중경로 패널에서도 정확한 정수배 주파수 옵셋의 추정이 가능하다 또한, 소수배 주파수 옵셋이 ± 0.5 근처의 값을 가질 경우 적은 계산량으로 주파수 옵셋을 ± 0.1 이내로 보상할 수 있다.

CMMB(China Multimedia Mobile Broadcasting) 방식은 중국의 휴대이동방송 표준으로서 프레임에 하나의 ID 신호와 두개의 동기 신호 40개의 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 데이터 심볼을 포함하고 있다. 다른 OFDM 시스템의 모바일 방송과는 달리 CMMB는 별도의 동기 심볼을 두고 있다. 또한 BPSK 성상으로 전송되는 OFDM 심볼내의 연속 파일럿은 CMMB의 시스템 정보를 전송하고 있어 이미 수신기에서 송신 연속 파일럿을 알고있는 유럽의 DVB-H나 일본의 원세그와는 다르다. 그러므로 CMMB의 프레임 구조에 특화를 시킨 동기 알고리듬이 필요하다. 본 논문은 CMMB 동기신호를 이용한 정수배 주파수 동기, OFDM 심볼을 이용한 소수배 동기 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리듬은 각각 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로 검증하였다.

이 연구는 DVB-H 수신기의 전력소모를 줄이기 위한 새로운 동기방법을 제안하였다. DVB-H 시스템에서는 수신기의 전력소모글 줄이기 위하여 Time-Slicing 방법을 사용하는데 버스트 주기가 작을수록 수신기의 유효동작시간 이 줄어들게 되어 전력소모가 감소된다. 수신기의 유효동작시간에는 버스트를 동기화하기 위한 시간이 포함되므로 이 동기화시간을 줄이면 DVB-H 수신기의 전력소모를 줄일 수 있다. 제안방식은 한 프레임(68개 OFDM 심볼) 또는 연속된 5개의 OFDM 심볼을 이용하는 기존방식과 달리 이전 수신버스트의 OFDM 심볼 네 개 또는 송신기의 OFDM 심볼 네 개와 현재 수신되는 심볼 1개를 사용하기 때문에 동기시간을 1/68 또는 1/5 까지 줄일 수 있다. 제안방식의 강건성을 분석하기 위하여 다양한 이동수신 채널환경에서 최소보호비를 구하여 기존 방식과 비교 분석하였다.

The DAB(Digital Audio Broadcasting) service which is based on the Eureka-147 of Europe is developed to DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) service that is divided into Terrestrial DMB and Satellite DMB. The Satellite DMB is a new broadcasting service, which will service multi-channel multimedia broadcasting by the portable receiver or the vehicle receiver. In this paper, we consider that link level performance of satellite DMB system A which is based on the COFDM(Coded Orthogonal Division Multiplexing). It uses the OFDM method which is sensitive to nonlinearity, so we analyze the effect of the HPA(High Power Amplifier) nonlinearity. And then we define the appropriate back-off value by performing the link level simulation considering back-off effect. Also we consider the effect of frequency and time offset, and then confirm the overall link level performance by analyzing and verifying a suitable synchronization method for satellite DMB system A.

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.

This paper investigates the link margin of MB-OFDM UWB system quantitatively. Various simulations are performed considering the implementation loss by imperfect synchronization unit and the effect of multi-path fading channels. MB-OFDM UWB system uses ZP(Zero Padding) instead of CP(Cyclic Prefix) and supports two transmission modes; one is TFI(Time Frequency Interleaving) mode that transmits OFDM symbols using different carrier frequency from symbol to symbol according to Time Frequency(TF) codes, the other is FFI(Fixed Frequency Interleaving) mode that transmits OFDM symbols using a specific carrier frequency. The advantage of if and TFI is to be able to increase the transmitting power effectively compared to the existed OFDM systems that transmit the signal continuously at the same average transmitting power. From the analysis results of Ink margin, to guarantee the service range of 4m in 200Mbps mode, TFI mode must necessarily be implemented and the service range of 480Mbps mode is estimated about 1-2m in the line-of-sight multi-path channel (CMI).

In this paper, we develop design procedures for carrier tracking loop for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems or other systems of blocked data. In such communication systems, phase error measurements are made infrequent enough to invalidate the traditional loop design methodology which is based on analog loop design. We analyze the degradation in the OFDM schemes caused by the tracking loop and show how the performance is dependent on the rms phase error, where we distinguished between the effect of the variance in the average phase over the symbol and the effect of the phase change over the symbol. We derive the optimal tracking loop including optional delay in the loop caused by processing time. Our solution is general and includes arbitrary phase noise apd additive noise spectrums. In order to guarantee a well behaved solution, we have to check the design against margin constraints subject to uncertainties. In case the optimal loop does not meet the required margin constraints subjected to uncertainties, it is shown how to apply a method taken from control theory to find a controller. Alternatively, if we restrict the solution to first or second order loops, we give a simple loop design procedure which may be sufficient in many cases. Extensions of the method are shown for using both pilot symbols and data symbols in the OFDM receiver for phase tracking. We compare our results to other methods commonly used in OFDM receivers and we show that a large improvement can be gained.

This paper shows that the OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) system is robust to multipath than CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) system and it has a strong possibility to be utilized as a supplementing wireless location system for the forthcoming portable internet network. The OFDM system based on IEEE 802.16e is a wireless TDD (Time Division Duplex) OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) system providing portable internet services in 2.3 GHz frequency band and is scheduled in service in Korea starting in 2006. In this paper, multipath error is calculated using a two-ray model and compared with that of a CDMA system which is following IS-95. The OFDM system shows a maximum multipath error of 3 m while a CDMA system shows a maximum multipath error of 61 m. For this simulation, an early-late technique is used. This technique is usually used to match synchronization of signal in DLL(Delay Lock Loop).

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the performance of MB-OFDM UWB system when the interference signal that can be WIMAX signal or 4 G system signal is received by detection limit of -80 dBm/MHz proposed in Korea for DAA(Detect And Avoid) to permit UWB in $3.1{\sim}4.8$ GHz. MB-OFDM UWB system supports two transmission modes; one is TFI(Time frequency Interleaving) mode that transmits OFDM symbols using different carrier frequency from symbol to symbol according to Time Frequency(TF) codes, the other is FFI(Fixed Frequency Interleaving) mode that transmits OFDM symbols using a specific carrier frequency. In this paper, we considered the TX average power and the synchronization structure to reflect the effect of frequency hopping according to TFC. Interference analysis results show that the WiMAX system is fenced thoroughly from UWB interference in domestic DAA regulation, but the performance of MB-OFDM UWB system is degraded seriously by an interference signal with the DAA detection limit even in frequency Hopping mode that can get frequency diversity effect.
