본 논문에서는 제한된 통신 채널의 대역에서 주파수 효율이 높은 OFDM 시스템을 위한 반송파 주파수 동기 알고리즘을 제안한다. OFDM 시스템에서의 반송파 주파수 옵셋은 부반송파 간격의 정수배와 소수배로 나누어진다 소수배 주파수 옵셋이 ± 0.5 근처의 값을 가질 경우에는 정확한 정수배 주파수 옵셋 추정이 어렵고 반송파 동기 PLL이 소수배 주파수 옵셋을 추적하는데 많은 시간이 소요된다. 제안한 알고리즘은 정수배 주파수 옵셋을 제거하기 위해 2개의 심볼 만을 이용하고 다중경로 패널에서도 정확한 정수배 주파수 옵셋의 추정이 가능하다 또한, 소수배 주파수 옵셋이 ± 0.5 근처의 값을 가질 경우 적은 계산량으로 주파수 옵셋을 ± 0.1 이내로 보상할 수 있다.

A novel frequency offset estimation scheme using a periodogram is proposed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OfDM) systems. A conventional scheme proposed by Ren has a problem that the fractional and residual frequency offset estimation steps do not compensate for the difference between the real frequency offset and estimated integer frequency offset in the noise channel. So, the frequency offset estimation performance of Ren's scheme is degraded. In this paper, a frequency offset estimation scheme is proposed, which has a larger estimation range than that of the factional and residual frequency offset estimation steps in Ren's scheme. The proposed scheme can compensate for the difference between the real frequency offset and estimated integer frequency offset, unlike Ren's scheme. From the simulation results, we can observe that the performance of the proposed scheme is better than that of Ren's scheme.

OFDM을 이용한 통신 시스템에서 주파수 옵셋은 부채널 간의 간섭을 유발하고, 수신 신호의 진폭과 위상을 왜곡시키며, 프레임 옵셋은 수신 신호의 위상을 변화시킨다. 본 논문에서는 2개의 첩 신호(chirp signal)를 이용하여 주파수 옵셋 추정 및 프레임 동기가 동시에 가능한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 방안은 프레임 동기를 위하여 1개의 첩 신호를 이용하는 Hazy 방안보다 주파수 옵셋이 발생할 경우 프레임 동기 성능을 훨씬 개선하였고, 동기에 주파수 옵셋 추정도 가능하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 알고리즘의 성능을 확인하였다.

Frequency offset in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is known to cause the inter-channel interference (ICI), amplitude and phase distortion of a received signal, resulting in a severe performance degradation of the total system. In this paper, we propose an improved pilot-based masimum likelihood frequency offset estimation technique, which uses the predefined sync-subchannels, and derive the error performance of the proposed frequency offset estimator analytically. The proposed technique improves the performance of the frequency offset estimator by adding up the frequency offset caused by coherent phase changes and averaging out the effect caused by random phase error. It is confirmed by computer simulations that the upper bound of error variance for the proposed frequency offset estimator analytically derived in this paper is correct, and that the proposed estimator has better performance than the previous ones in terms of error variance, tracking range, and time-varying characteristics of a channel.

Recently, frequency offset estimation method for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing has been proposed by Ren et al. (REA). The method can estimate an frequency offset independently from training symbol structure. In REA method, however, the detection probability of integer frequency offset is varying according to fractional frequency offset. In this paper, we first analysis REA frequency offset estimation method, and define new detection criteria suitable for the method. Then, we propose efficient integer frequency offset estimation method based on the new detection criteria and maximum likelihood method. The proposed method still has the advantages of REA method, while overcome the drawback. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed methods outperform the REA method, in terms of integer frequency offset detection probability.

We aim at frequency offset estimation for IEEE 802.15.4a ranging systems, where an impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) signal is exploited, By incorporating the property of the ternary code in the preamble, we derive a simplified maximum-likelihood (ML) estimation of the frequency offset. In addition, a closed form estimator for implementation is investigated. Simulation results and theoretical analysis verify our estimators in IEEE 802.15.4a IR-UWB packet-based ranging systems.

이 논문에서는 직교 주파수 분할 다중화(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing : OFDM) 시스템의 수신기에서 발생하는 다중 주파수 옵셋의 영향을 제거하는 방법을 제안한다. 다중 주파수 옵셋은 서로 다른 송신기로부터 동일한 신호를 수신할 때, 두 송신기의 발진 주파수가 서로 다르기 때문에 발생한다. 광대역 전송 시스템의 변복조 방식으로 널리 사용하고 있는 OFDM 방식은 대역효율이 높고 채널 추정이 간단하다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 OFDM 방식은 주파수 옵셋에 매우 민감 하다는 단점이 있다. 이 논문에서는 시간 영역에서의 1차적인 주파수 보정과 주파수 영역에서의 2차적인 채널간 간섭 제거방법을 적용하여 다중주파수 옵셋에 의한 영향을 효과적으로 제거하는 방법을 제안한다.

The main disadvantage of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is its sensitivity to carrier frequency offset and timing offset. This paper proposes a simple way of improving the performance of the integer frequency offset (IFO) estimator in OFDM-based digital video broadcasting (DVB) system. By modifying the conventional maximum likelihood (ML) estimator to have multi-stage estimation strategy, IFO estimator is derived. Simulations indicate that the proposed IFO estimator works robustly with reduced computational burden when compared to ML estimator.

In this paper, an interchannel interference (ICI) cancellation method is proposed for multiple frequency offsets in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. When several same signals are received from different transmitters simultaneously, multiple frequency offsets may occur at the receiver because of the frequency difference of the oscillators of the two transmitters and the receiver. This causes degradation of system performance because OFDM systems are very sensitive to the frequency offsets. In this paper, we propose a method to eliminate the effect of the multiple frequency offsets for OFDM systems. The method is accomplished in two steps: compensation of the frequency offset in the time domain and subsequent cancellation of the ICI in the frequency domain. Through computer simulations, we verify the effectiveness of the proposed ICI cancellation method.
