A low complexity antenna diversity receiver for OFDM based systems
نویسنده
چکیده
A low complexity antenna diversity architecture with a new combining technique suitable for Orthogonal Frequency Division (OFDM) based systems is introduced in this paper. For a two branch antenna diversity, this structure requires only one FFT at the receiver and allows optimum maximum ratio combining. For systems with a higher number of antennas, the number of required FFTs when using such technique is reduced by half as compared to the conventional case where a different FFT is used for each receive antenna. As a result a considerable reduction in processing complexity is obtained especially for systems with high number of subcarriers. This method can also be seen as a way of increasing the number of antennas in OFDM transceivers without any major complexity increase. Thus, a considerable increase in diversity gain can be achieved.

We consider a space–time coded (STC) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system with multiple transmitter and receiver antennas over correlated frequencyand time-selective fading channels. It is shown that the product of the time-selectivity order and the frequency-selectivity order is a key parameter to characterize the outage capacity of the correlated fading channel. It is also...

The high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and MIMO-OFDM systems reduces the system efficiency.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been widely adopted for high data rate wireless transmissions. By deploying multiple receiving antennas, single-input multiple-output(SIMO-) OFDM can further enhance the performance with spatial diversity. However, due to the large dynamic range of OFDM signals and the nonlinear nature of analog components, it is pragmatic to model the trans...
