초록

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템은 이동성이 있는 고속 데이터 전송에 적합한 전송 방법으로 널리 알려져 있지만, 위상 잡음과 직교 불균형(IQ imbalance)에 매우 민감한 특성을 보이는 단점이 있다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 위상 잡음 특성에 따른 위상 잡음 분산을 계산한 다음, 직교 불균형이 있는 OFDM 시스템의 통신 성능을 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 위상 잡음의 분산과 직교 불균형의 크기 변화에 따라 통신 성능이 변화하는 것을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 진폭 불균형이 ${\varepsilon}$=0.2; 0.3; 0.4이고, 위상 불균형이 ${\phi}=10^0$이고, 위상 잡음의 분산 ${\sigma}^2=0.012$일 때, BER은 $10^{-5}$에서 각각 2.88 dB, 3.61 dB, 4.69 dB의 SNR penalty가 존재한다.

OFDM system is an excellent high speed transmission method but it is seriously sensitive to the phase noise and IQ imbalance. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the communication performance of the OFDM communication system with IQ imbalance and phase noise. Phase noise's variance can be calculated by integral calculus of phase noise power spectrum. From simulation results, it can be shown that the BER performances show different change according to the phase noise variance and IQ imbalance amount. When amplitude imbalance is ${\varepsilon}$=0.2; 0.3; 0.4 and phase imbalance is ${\phi}=10^0$, and distribution of phase noise is ${\sigma}^2=0.012$, BER is degraded by 2.88 dB, 3.61 dB, 4.09 dB in $10^{-5}$ in the respect of the SNR penalty.
