A nonlinear spectral-line method utilizing the fourth absolute moment of the receiver discrete Fourier transform output is proposed as a non-data-aided fine carrier frequency synchronization algorithm for OFDM receivers. A simple modification of the algorithm resulting in low implementation complexity is also developed. Analytic expressions are derived for the steady-state frequency error variances of the algorithms and verified to be very accurate via computer simulations over AWGN and frequency selective multipath channels. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithms provide reliable and excellent steady-state performance, especially with PSK modulation. Also, the proposed algorithms are insensitive to symbol timing offsets, only requiring a coarse symbol timing recovery.

This paper is about the implementation of the OFDM-based border guard/reconnaissance communication terminal systems. We have implemented Real-time Dynamic DL/UL symbol rate control function using the DL-MAP message, and proposed error detection method caused by malfunctioning and timing optimization method. The proposed scheme detects the variable rate symbol decoding timing without increasing additional physical layer logic, and also provides a wide variety of DL/UL data transfer rate. Furthermore, the proposed scheme applies to the current border guard/reconnaissance equipment and confirms a operation performance through field tests and demonstration at home and abroad.

In this paper, blind synchronization algorithm is developed for estimating jointly timing and frequency offset of OFDM system. The proposed estimator exploits the second-order cyclostationarity of received signals, and then uses the information of symbol timing and carrier frequency offset appeared in the cyclic correlation. As a bling estimator, the information of impulse response of channel and training symbols are not required. The performance of the proposed method is consistent in spite of channel conditions in mean squre error sense, and simulation results prove it. For more accurate estimaion, the method that averages cyclic correlation is applied. In this case, the performance of averaging method is better.

This paper presents a parallel processing searcher structure for the initial synchronization of a direct sequence ultra-wideband (DS-UWB) system, which is suitable for the digital implementation of baseband functionalities with a 1.32 Gsample/s chip rate analog-to-digital converter. An initial timing acquisition algorithm and a data demodulation method are also studied. The proposed searcher effectively acquires initial symbol and frame timing during the preamble transmission period. A hardware efficient receiver structure using 24 parallel digital correlators for binary phase-shift keying DS-UWB transmission is presented. The proposed correlator structure operating at 55 MHz is shared for correlation operations in a searcher, a channel estimator, and the demodulator of a RAKE receiver. We also present a pseudo-random noise sequence generated with a primitive polynomial, $1+x^2+x^5$, for packet detection, automatic gain control, and initial timing acquisition. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed parallel processing searcher employing the presented pseudo-random noise sequence outperforms that employing a preamble sequence in the IEEE 802.15.3a DS-UWB proposal.

In this paper, a channel estimation technique based on pilot tones, which does not degrade channel estimation performance even with the existence of symbol timing offset (STO) in OFDM systems, is proposed. The proposed technique performs channel estimation by interpolating channels with respect to amplitude and phase with a minimum computational complexity, differently from the conventional interpolation techniques. The proposed technique requires neither the estimation of fine STO in advance nor trigonometric operation for phase interpolation, signifying a significant reduction in computational complexity. Since the performance of the proposed technique does not depend on the STO present in OFDM systems. It can be directly applied to the following areas in OFDM-based communication system: elimination of fine STO estimation step in the synchronization procedure, elimination of STO estimation step in multiuser uplink, and channel estimation in multi-hop relay system. It is verified by computer simulation that the proposed technique can improve the performance of channel estimation significantly in the presence of STOs, compared with previous channel estimation techniques based on pilot tones.

OFDM 시스템은 부반송파의 직교성을 이용하는 특징으로 인하여 신호치 시간동기 및 주파수동기가 맞지 않은 경우 수신신호를 정확히 복조하기가 거의 불가능하다. 보호구간(Guard Interval)은 신호의 데이터 구간 일부분을 복사하여 심볼의 앞에 추가하는 CP(Cyolic Prefix)방식을 사용하고 있으며, 채널에서 발생하는 ISI(InterSymbol Interference)를 흡수하는 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 시간동기에 사용되어지는 보호구간을 여러 부구간으로 나눈 후, 이를 이용하여 심볼 타이밍 동기를 추정하고자 한다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 방법에 비해 성능의 손실없이 많은 계산량을 줄이는 방법으로서 수신기의 구조를 단순화시킬 수 있다. 여러 채널 환경에서의 모의 실험을 통해 제안한 방법과 기존의 방법을 비교하였다.

WAVE based on OFDM is made for vehicle to vehicle wireless communication. Its performance is decreased by continual timing delay in multipath fading channels after starting initial timing synchronization. In this paper, the tracking algorithm that synchronizes symbol timing is proposed to continually compensate additional timing delay. Computer simulation of the proposed algorithm is performed in the worst communication environment that applies to maximum timing delay. Computer simulation shows that the proposed algorithm can improve the system performance in various channel conditions.

The system using UWB is processing brisk study with Bluetooth among the wireless access that is major technology in Telematics. The low complexity and cost for realization is advantage of UWB have communication of high speed. Mamy papers have published on the timing jitter effect on system performance except for the UWB system. In this paper, we analyze the effect of timing jitter on M-ary UWB system using orthogonal Hermite pulse and perform the simulation to show symbol error rate performance. For theoretical analysis, we derive correlation function of orthogonal Hermits pulse with closed form, and as well upper bound of Symbol Error Probability for M-ary orthogonal Hermite pulse system mathematically. It is found that numerical analysis is accurate enough through simulation.

ATSC DTV receivers use repetitive data segment syncs or Gardner algorithm as a tuning recovery circuit. Many multipath signals can induce timing-offset in the symbol timing recovery circuit using Gardner algorithm and this timing-offset shifts sampling instant to the wrong points, causing the performance of the equalizer to become nr. When many echoes exist, the optimal sampling instant will be the Point at which the main-path has a peak value. In this paper, by using channel correlation techniques, we find the optimal sampling instant, thereby compensating the timing offset and improving DTV reception performance. We analyzed the Performance enhancement of DTV receivers using the timing offset compensator.
