Effect of Time-Interleaved Analog-to-Digital Converter Mismatches on OFDM Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the extremely high sampling rate and high resolution required for multi-Gigabit orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems, timeinterleaved analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are being considered. However, in practice, mismatches such as offset mismatch, gain mismatch and timing mismatch occur between the parallel sub-ADCs. This paper theoretically analyzes the impact of the different mismatches on the performance of the OFDM system. The theoretical results are confirmed by simulations and show that OFDM performance is strongly degraded, even for small mismatches.

متن کاملOn Blind Identification of Gain and Timing Mismatches in Time-Interleaved Analog-to-Digital Converters
Gain and timing mismatches in a time-interleaved analog-todigital converter (TI-ADC) cause spurious images in its output spectrum thus effecting its performance. In this paper. we present an efficient digital blind identification structure to adaptively estimate gain and timing mismatches by using the filtered-error least-mean square (FxLMS) algorithm. The identification of mismatches helps in ...
متن کاملCompensating Frequency Response Mismatches in Time Interleaved Analog to Digital Converters
Time interleaving of multiple analog-todigital converters by multiplexing the outputs of (for example) a pair of converters at a doubled sampling rate is by now a mature concept—first introduced by Black and Hodges in 1980. Time interleaving of ADCs offers a conceptually simple method for multiplying the sample rate of existing high-performing ADCs. Time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters...
متن کاملScalable Mismatch Correction for Time-interleaved Analog-to-Digital Converters in OFDM Reception1
Realization of all-digital baseband receiver processing for multi-Gigabit communication requires analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) of sufficient rate and output resolution. A promising architecture for this purpose is the time-interleaved ADC (TI-ADC), in which L “sub-ADCs” are employed in parallel. However, the gain, timing and voltage-offset mismatches between the sub-ADCs, if left uncompen...

Abstract: The time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (TIADC) is an architecture used to achieve a high sampling rate and high dynamic performance. However, estimation and compensation methods are required to maintain the dynamic performance of the constituent analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) due to channel mismatches. This paper proposes a blind adaptive method to calibrate the nonline...
