Abstract

This paper suggests an autocorrelation function (AF) based carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimator based on a training sequence in flat fading channels. The proposed CFO estimator has the reduced computational burdens in the calculation of the AF when compared to AF-based conventional frequency estimators. The simulation results show that the proposed estimator achieves a better performance than the existing estimators. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed method has been observed to lie close to the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB).

본 논문에서는 페이딩 채널 환경에서 훈련 신호을 이용하는 자기 상관 함수 기반의 반송파 주파수 오차 추정기를 제안한다. 제안된 주파수 동기화 기법은 기존의 자기 상관 함수 기반의 추정기와 비교하였을 때 자기 상관 함수 계산 과정에서 보다 낮은 계산 복잡도를 가진다. 실험 결과를 통하여 제안된 반송파 주파수 오차 추정기가 기존의 방식보다 향상된 성능을 가지며, 제안된 추정기의 성능이 CRLB(Cramor-Rao lower bound)에 근접함을 보인다.
