Carrier Frequency Synchronization for OFDM Systems

چکیده
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is, with substantial progress in digital signal processing, becoming an important part of the telecommunications arena. The most appealing feature of OFDM is the simplicity of the receiver design due to the efficiency with which OFDM can cope with the effects of frequency-selective multipath channels. Multicarrier systems such as OFDM are, however, more sensitive to carrier frequency offset (CFO) than are single-carrier systems. We first review the basics of OFDM communications systems and then address the CFO estimation problem. Both pilot-based and blind estimation techniques are presented. The Cramér–Rao bound is established, and an optimal null carrier placement scheme is derived.

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...
