Abstract

In this paper, the reduction scheme of Interchannel Interference(ICI) caused by the phase noise in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) systems for archiving high data rates is proposed. The performance of conventional common phase error(CPE) compensation method is degraded by the phase noise with wide 3dB bandwidth in OFDM systems width a higher-order constellation. After estimating dominant ICI coefficients using pilot subcarriers and data subcarriers adjacent to pilot subcarriers, the proposed scheme compensates OFDM signals distorted by the phase noise using estimated coefficients in the time or frequency domain. Also, in order to determine the length of dominant ICI coefficients effectively, the estimation method of the 3dB bandwidth of the phase noise is proposed. The proposed phase noise reduction method is shown to improve the Bit Error Ratio(BER) performance compared with the conventional CPE compensation.

본 논문에서는 고속 데이터 전송을 위한 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템에서 위상잡음 때문에 발생되는 ICI(Interchannel Interference)의 감쇄기법이 제안된다. 고차 변조방식으로 변조된 OFDM 시스템에서 3dB 대역폭이 넓은 위상잡음에 의하여 기존 CPE(Common Phase Error) 보상기법의 성능은 열화된다. 제안된 기법은 파일럿 부반송파와 이에 인접한 데이터 부반송파를 이용하여 유효한 ICI 계수를 추정한 후, 위상잡음에 의한 왜곡을 주파수 혹은 시간영역에서 보상한다. 또한, 효과적으로 유효한 ICI의 길이를 결정하기 위하여 위상잡음의 3dB 대역폭 추정기법이 제안된다. 제안된 위상잡음 억제 기법은 기존의 CPE 보상 방식에 비하여 비트 오류율 성능을 향상시킨다.
