چکیده

In this paper, estimation of carrier frequency offset (CFO) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems with I/Q imbalance is studied. By exploiting the mirror spectrum induced by I/Q imbalance, we proposed a novel algorithm for blind CFO estimation without training sequences. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing one, which is well accepted as a guideline of blind CFO estimation algorithms in OFDM systems. & 2009 Elsevier B.V.

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...

Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation and I/Q Imbalance Compensation for OFDM Systems

Two types of radio-frequency front-end imperfections, that is, carrier frequency offset and the inphase/quadrature (I/Q) imbalance are considered for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems. A preamble-assisted carrier frequency estimator is proposed along with an I/Q imbalance compensation scheme. The new frequency estimator reveals the relationship between the ...

OFDM Channel Estimation in the Presence of Receiver I/Q Imbalance and CFO Using Pilot Symbols

In this paper, we study the channel estimation in the presence of the receiver in-phase and quadrature-phase (I/Q) imbalance and carrier frequency offset (CFO) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems using pilot symbols. The concept of channel residual energy (CRE) [9] is used to solve the joint estimation problem. By minimizing the CRE, we can jointly estimate the receive...

Efficient Joint Estimation and Compensation of CFO, Tx/Rx Frequency-Selective I/Q Imbalance, and the MIMO Radio Channel in OFDM Systems

MIMO OFDM is a very promising technique for future wireless communication systems. By applying direct conversion architecture, low-cost, low-power, small size and flexible implementation of MIMO OFDM systems can be realized. However, the performance of direct conversion architecture based MIMO OFDM systems can be seriously affected by RF impairments incl. Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO) and I/Qi...

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...
