Abstract

OFDM system has a disadvantage of sensitiveness about the effect of frequency offset caused by the discord of oscillators in the transmitter and receiver. Either, the frequency offsets in mobile radio channels distort the orthogonality between sub-carriers resulting in the inter-carrier interference(ICI). In this paper, we analyze the effect of the ICI and propose a new method using SC technique. To analyze BER(Bit Error Rate) and CIR(Carrier to Interference Ratio) performance of the proposed method. the simulation program MATLAB is used. By the simulation results, SNR performance is improved by this method. In case the frequency offset is 0.3 and 0.5, SNR gains are over 0.5dB and 1dB in the BPSK modulation and 1dB and 2dB in the QPSK modulation at BER of $10^{-3}$ respectively. In addition, CIR performance is improved over 15dB. As a result, the proposed method is more effective to improve the system performance than the conventional method.

OFDM 시스템은 전송단자 수신단의 오실레이터의 불일치로 인해 발생하는 주파수 오프셋의 영향에 민감하다는 단점이 있다. 또한 주파수 오프셋은 ICI(Inter Carrier Interference) 문제를 발생시키고 부반송파 사이에 직교성을 왜곡한다. 본 논문에서는 ICI 영향을 분석하고, 기존의 SC 기법을 응용하여 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 기법의 BER(Bit Error Rate)과 신호 품질을 결정짓는 CR(Carrier to Interference Ratio)을 분석하기 위하여 MATLAB 프로그램을 사용한다. 모의실험 결과, 주파수 오프셋이 0.3과 0.5 일 때 $10^{-3}$의 BER에서 BPSK 변조는 0.5dB, 1dB 이상, QPSK 변조는 1.6dB, 1.5dB 이상의 SNR 성능 향상을 보이며, CIR 성능도 최대 15dB 이상 향상 되었다. 결과적으로 제안한 기법이 기존의 기법보다 시스템 성능 향상에 효과적이다.
