چکیده

CFO and I/Q mismatch could cause significant performance degradation to OFDM systems. Their estimation and compensation are generally difficult as they are entangled in the received signal. In this paper, we propose some low-complexity estimation and compensation schemes in the receiver, which are robust to various CFO and I/Q mismatch values although the performance is slightly degraded for very small CFO. These schemes consist of three steps: forming a cosine estimator free of I/Q mismatch interference, estimating I/Q mismatch using the estimated cosine value, and forming a sine estimator using samples after I/Q mismatch compensation. These estimators are based on the perception that an estimate of cosine serves much better as the basis for I/Q mismatch estimation than the estimate of CFO derived from the cosine function. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes can improve system performance significantly, and they are robust to CFO and I/Q mismatch.

Estimation of Carrier Frequency Offset With I/Q Mismatch Using Pseudo-Offset Injection in OFDM Systems

This work presents a novel carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation algorithm, based on pseudo-CFO (P-CFO), to estimate the CFO value under the conditions of I/Q mismatch for direct conversion structures with 2-dB gain error and 20-deg. phase error in frequency selective fading channels. To circumvent CFO with I/Q mismatch, the proposed P-CFO algorithm rotates three training symbols by adding ...

Preamble-Assisted Estimation for Frequency-Dependent I/Q Mismatch in Direct-Conversion OFDM Receivers

In direct-conversion orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receivers, the impact of frequency-dependent I/Q mismatch (IQ-M) with carrier frequency offset (CFO) must be considered. A preamble-assisted estimation is developed to circumvent the frequencydependent IQ-M with CFO. The results of a simulation and an experiment show that the proposed method could provide good estimation eff...

Blind estimation of carrier frequency offset, I/Q imbalance and DC offset for OFDM systems

Sensitivity to carrier frequency offset (CFO) is one of the biggest drawbacks of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. A lot of CFO estimation algorithms had been studied for compensation of CFO in OFDM system. However, with the adoption of direct-conversion architecture (DCA), which introduces additional impairments such as dc offset (DCO) and in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) imba...

Preamble design for joint estimation of CFO and I/Q imbalance for direct conversion OFDM system

This paper proposes a preamble structure for joint estimation of carrier frequency offset (CFO) and I/Q imbalance. Because existing methods cannot guarantee correct solutions within all range of CFOs, we derive two constraints of phase rotations applied to repetition patterns. By using the preamble based on the presented constraints, CFO is optimally estimated, and I/Q imbalance estimation is p...
