Abstract

In this paper, a carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimator is proposed for the interleaved OFDMA uplink systems. It is based on the estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance technique (ESPRIT). Compared with the Cao's estimator, the proposed estimator has low computational complexity. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed estimator performs better than Cao's estimator at the relatively low SNR region. Hence, the proposed estimator is more applicable to the practical environments than the Cao’s estimator.
