The carrier frequency offset causes loss of orthogonality between sub-carriers, thus leads to inter-carrier interference (ICI) in the OFDM symbol. This ICI causes severe degradation of the BER performance of the OFDM receiver. In this paper, we propose a new ICI cancellation algorithm which estimates frequency offset at the time-domain by using CP-ICA method to the received sub-carriers phase rotation. This algorithm is based on a statistical blind estimation method, which mainly utilizes the EVD, rotating phase and the $4^{th}-cumulants$. Since our scheme does not need any training and pilot symbol in estimation, we can expect enhanced bandwidth efficiency in OFDM systems. Simulation results show that the proposed frequency offset estimator is more accurate than the other estimators in $0.0<\varepsilon<1.0$.

It has well known that MUSIC and ESPRIT algorithms estimate angle of arrival(AOA) with high resolution by eigenvalue decomposition of the covariance matrix which were obtained from the array antennas. However, the disadvantage of MUSIC and ESPRIT is that they are computationally ineffective, and then they are difficult to implement in real time. The other problem of MUSIC and ESRPIT is to require calibrated antennas with uniform features, and are sensitive to the manufacturing facult and other physical uncertainties. To overcome these disadvantages, several method using neural model have been study. For multiple signals, those require huge training data prior to AOA estimation. This paper proposes the algorithm for AOA estimation by interconnected hopfield neural model. Computer simulations show the validity of the proposed algorithm. The proposed method does not require huge training procedure and only assigns interconnected coefficients to the neural network prior to AOA estimation.

This paper proposes the algorithm for AOA estimation by interconnected Hopfield neural model. Computer simulations show the validity of the proposed algorithm. It follows that the proposed method yields better AOA estimates than MUSIC. Moreover, out method does not require huge training procedure and only assigns interconnected coefficients to the neural network prior to AOA estimation.

Parameterized multichannel Wiener filter (PMWF) is a linear filter that can control the trade-off between residual noise and signal distortion using the embedded parameter. To apply the PMWF to noisy inputs, accurate noise estimation is important and multichannel minima-controlled recursive averaging (MMCRA) is widely used. However, in the case of the MMCRA, the accuracy of noise estimation decreases when a directional interference is involved into the array inputs. Consequently, the performance of the PMWF is degraded. Therefore, we propose a noise power spectral density (PSD) estimation method for the PMWF in this paper. The proposed method is based on a consecutive process of eigenvalue decomposition on noisy input PSD, estimation of the target component contribution using directional information, and exponential weighting for improved estimation of the target contribution. For evaluation, four objective measures were compared with the MMCRA and we verify that the PMWF with the proposed noise estimation method can improve performance in environments where directional interfereces exist.
