In this paper, a low-area symbol timing offset synchronization structure for WLAN Modem is proposed. Using CSD(Canonic Signed Digit) coefficients and CSS(Common Sub-expression Sharing) technique for the filter implementation, efficient structure for multiplication block can be obtained. Function simulation for proposed structure is done by using the preamble with timing offset. Through Verilog-HDL coding and synthesis, it is shown that the proposed symbol timing offset synchronization structure can be implemented with low-area semiconductor.

The synchronization algorithm of IEEE 802.11a WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) has three consecutive processes, which use a short code training symbol, a long code training symbol and a pilot symbol respectively. But in using this synchronization processes, the actual embodiment has two problems. First, the synchronization process has the complex structure using a long code training symbol and a pilot symbol. Second, since the long training symbol is only compensated with the offset correction coefficient, it can not be trusted perfectly. If the equalizer coefficient is obtained in this unstable period, the system performance is degraded. In particular, the system performance becomes worst in case of the 54 Mbps transmission system using the maximum length of data. In this paper, the new algorithm is proposed which can resolve the embodiment complexity of synchronization processes and structural defect, and also it is confirmed by simulation.

To recover transmitted signal perfectly at DTV receiver, we have to acquire carrier frequency synchronization to compensate pilot signal which located in wrong position and rotated phase. Also, we need a symbol timing synchronization to compensate sampling timing error. Conventionally, to synchronize symbol timing, we use Gardner's scheme which used in multi-level signal. Gardner's scheme is well known for its sampling the timing error signal from every symbol and it makes easy to detect and keep timing sync in multi-path channel. In this paper, to discuss the problem when the received power level is out of range and we cannot get synchronization information. With this problem, we use 2 step procedures. First, we put a received signal power compensation block before Garder's timing error detector. Second, adaptive loop filter to get a fast synchronization information and averaging loop filter's output value to reduce the amount of jitter after synchronization in PLL(Phased Locked Loop) circuit which is used to get a carrier frequency synchronization and symbol timing synchronization. Using the averaging value, we can estimate offset. Based on offset changing ratio, we can adapt adaptive loop filter to carrier frequency and symbol timing synchronization circuit.

CMMB(China Multimedia Mobile Broadcasting)는 중국에서 개발된 이동 방송 시스템이다. CMMB는 시간 동기와 주파수 동기를 획득하기 위해 프레임에 포함된 두 개의 동기 신호와 OFDM 심볼을 이용한다. 이는 OFDM 심볼의 연속파일럿과 분산 파일럿을 이용하는 기존의 이동 방송시스템과 달리 CMMB를 위한 특화된 동기 알고리듬이 필요하다. 이에 본 논문은 CMMB의 프레임 구조에 적합한 시간 동기 알고리듬에 대하여 연구하였다. 제안 알고리듬은 CMMB의 동기신호를 이용하여 상관값을 구한 후 1차와 2차로 나누어 경계값을 초과 하는 값을 검색하여 프레임의 시작점으로 추정한다. 제안된 알고리듬은 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로 검증하였으며 다중 경로 상황에서도 우수한 성능을 보인다.

ATSC 지상파 DTV 시스템에서 심볼 타이밍 동기 성능 개선을 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 일반적으로 심볼 타이밍 동기를 위해 사용되는 가드너 방법은 다중 경로 페이딩 환경에서 성능이 좋지만 지터에 의해 성능 열화가 발생한다. 지터량는 루프 필터 대역폭이 작을수록 작아지지만, 수렴속도는 느려지게 된다. 수렴속도는 빠르면서 수렴 후 지터량를 감소시키기 위해 일정시간마다 루프필터의 출력 값을 평균하고 이 평균값을 이용하여 옵셋량을 추정한 후 추정된 옵셋의 변화율에 따라 루프 필터의 대역폭을 줄여 지터의 크기를 줄이는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

This paper proposes a symbol synchronization method in the IEEE 802.11a wireless OPDM system, which uses only signs of the in-phase and the quadrature signals in the short preamble. The short preamble is sampled with 2 tines of Nyquist sampling rate and both of the autocorrelation and the cross-relation are used in the proposed method. This method has some advantages that the ACG (Automatic Gain Control) can be processed concurrently during the short preamble and its implementation is not much complicated. The proposed symbol synchronization method is verified through simulations on frequency offset, multi-path and white Gaussian noise.

In this paper, a new practical coherent detection scheme for biorthogonal signals, which uses multi-symbol observation interval, is proposed and its performances are analyzed and simulated. The technique jointly estimates both the demondulated data and the channel from received signal only while reducing computation complexity by an approximate maximum-likelihood sequence estimation rather than symbol-by-symbol detection as in previous noncoherent detection. The scheme achieves performance close to that of ideal coherent detection with perfect channel estimates when select the appropriate observation symbol interval N in the given symbol alphabet wize M. What is particularly interesting is that the requeired average signal-to-noise ratio per bit ${\gamma}_{b}$ can be reducedd by as much as 1.4dB and the capacity can be increase by as much as 38% when we use this system in the CDMA cellular reverse link.

In this paper, we propose a bit synchronizer which is suitable for frequency hopping systems. The proposed bit synchronizer is an ADPLL in which the digital loop filter is combined with an error symbol detecting circuit. Suppressing the tracking process, when hop mute and impulse noises are detected, improves the performance of the digital loop filter and enhances the probability of the frequency hopping system. Simulation results demonstrate an improved performance of the proposed bit synchronizer compared with existing ones.

In IEEE 802.15.4a IR-UWB (Impulse Radio Ultra Wideband) systems, it is crucial to acquire initial carrier/timing synchronization and estimate channel response by exploiting the SYNC symbols embedded in each packet. On the other hand, it is also crucial to detect the SFD pattern followed by the header and data symbols to reliably extract the information contained in the packet. In this paper, we propose a reliable SFD detection scheme utilizing some surplus SYNC symbols in addition to SFD symbols to improve the SFD detection performance.

In this paper, we introduce modified difference type symbol timing detection method of simple structure and show the relations between S/N ratio and timing detection performance which less influenced by multipath channel delay profile and added noise level and it show very exact GI detection performance characteristics. In the computer simulations, 4 symbol time duration of short and long training of IEEE802.11a standard OFDM frame are used for symbol synchronization timing detection. The computer simulation results show the very exact symbol timing detection performance characteristic within 1 sample error of OFDM signal regardless channel delay profile from minimn phase channels of phase rotation ${\pi}/2$ to non-minimum phase channels of phase rotation ${\pi}/2$ of received OFDM signal and added noise level in channel.
