Blind OFDM Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation by Locating Null Subcarriers
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a novel algorithm for estimating the Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO) in an OFDM receiver. The algorithm is based on locating the spectral minimas within null subcarriers embedded in the spectrum. This is done by using a scaled DFT algorithm to calculate the spectrum of the OFDM symbol around the null subcarrier, followed by averaging the absolute square of the amplitude. The method is suitable for systems with continuous transmission.

OFDM Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation Using Null Subcarriers
In this paper we present two extensions to a previously published OFDM carrier frequency-offset estimation method. The previously presented algorithm is based on locating the spectral minimas within so-called null or virtual subcarriers embedded in the spectrum. In this paper we develop this idea further by using a steepest descent method to find the minima and the estimate. We also study the e...

متن کاملBlind CFO Estimators for OFDM/OQAM Systems With Null Subcarriers
This paper deals with the problem of blind carrier-frequency offset (CFO) estimation in OFDM systems based on offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OFDM/OQAM) with null subcarriers. Specifically, by assuming that the number of subcarriers is sufficiently large, the received signal is modeled as a complex Gaussian random vector (CGRV). Since the OFDM/OQAM signal results to be a noncircular (NC...
متن کاملNon-data-aided carrier offset estimators for OFDM with null subcarriers: identifiability, algorithms, and performance
The ability of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems to mitigate frequency-selective channels is impaired by the presence of carrier frequency offsets (CFOs). In this paper, we investigate identifiability issues involving high-resolution techniques that have been proposed for blind CFO estimation based on null subcarriers. We propose new approaches that do not suffer from the lack ...
متن کاملComparison of SPS and FA methods for Blind Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation in OFDM systems
In orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, synchronization issues are of great importance since synchronization errors might destroy the orthogonality among all subcarriers and, therefore, introduce intercarrier interference (ICI) and intersymbol interference (ISI). Several schemes of frequency offset estimation in OFDM systems have been investigated. This paper compares perf...
