In this paper, after analyzing the effect of I/Q imbalance in an OFDM system, the detection method of an OFDM signal distorted by I/Q imbalance is proposed. Also, the channel estimation and the pilot symbol design scheme are proposed for using the proposed detection method. Since I/Q imbalance in an OFDM system degrades the SIR and the BER(Bit Error Ratio) performance, the robust detection method is required for an OFDM system. the proposed detection method can effectively suppress the interference caused by I/Q imbalance using characteristics of an OFDM signal differently from the conventional method, and results in improving the SIR of a desired OFDM signal.

A timing synchronization method is presented for IEEE 802.11a wireless OFDM system. First the signal detection is achieved by measuring the moving energy of the received OFDM signal in two consecutive windows. By measuring the correlation between the short training signal and received envelope signal, fine OFDM symbol synchronization can be acquired. The variance and average value of the correlation value is acquired. And the theoretical values are compared with computer simulation results.

This paper presents the analysis of fiber radio system transmitting OFDM signal. We propose a baseband equivalent system model and prove the relation between the IMD(intermodulation distortion) power and the number of subcarrier in the OFDM signal. Using this relation, we derive the CNH of the overall system. In terms of the required CNR for each digital modulation scheme, we extract the maximum number of the subcarrier in the OFDM signal using simulation and examine how the system parameters are related with the CNR.

In this paper, BPSK-OFDM-based LED communication systems are applied to watermarking techniques, were studied on how to transfer the additional information data with at the same time as the transfer of LED communication data. For watermarking kasami code was used as spreading codes, and spread additional data is controlled by small signal level to be BPSK-OFDM does not affect the optical signal. BPSK-OFDM is added to an optical signal is transmitted. The performance of the spreading code as a kasami code is autocorrelation of the noise-free environment, under the noise environment was confirmed by autocorrelation. BPSK-OFDM-based LED communication system has been applied proposed technique throughout the simulation in analyzed to BER of BPSK-OFDM DER performance and watermark signal level according to signal size level of data. That was availability confirmed for watermarking data transmit techniques data as being analysis detection performance of watermarking information using LED communication according to the code.

One of the important problems of OFDM system is the large PAPR of the output signal, which can result the significant signal distortion in presence of nonlinear amplifiers. To reduce the PAPR, we use fundamentally the level clipping and propose the modified mapping/demapping method for effective reducing the PAPR of the OFDM signals with level clipping. We can significantly improve the BER performance characteristics for the OFDM system. We discussed, through extensive computer simulations, the effects of level clipping and modified mapping/demapping method on the performance of OFDM system including the trade off between bandwidth expansion and BER performance and between bandwidth efficiency and BER performance.

In this paper, we introduce a new partial transmit sequence (PTS) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme with low computational complexity. In the proposed scheme, $2^n$-point inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) is divided into two parts. An input symbol sequence is partially transformed using the first l stages of IFFT into an intermediate signal sequence and the intermediate signal sequence is partitioned into a number of intermediate signal subsequences. Then, the remaining n - l stages of IFFT are applied to each of the intermediate signal subsequences and the resulting signal subsequences are summed after being multiplied by each member of a set of W rotating vectors to yield W distinct OFDM signal sequences. The one with the lowest peak to average power ratio (PAPR) among these OFDM signal sequences is selected for transmission. The new PTS OFDM scheme reduces the computational complexity while it shows almost the same performance of PAPR reduction as that of the conventional PTS OFDM scheme.

OFDM/SFH(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing/slow frequency hopping) system is the combination of OFDM communication system with frequency hopping(FH) method and OFDM/DS(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing/direct sequence) system combines the OFDM communication system with direct sequence(DS) method in terms of PN(pseudo noise) sequence. These two systems are also can be used for anti-jamming. In this study we analyze performances of OFDM/SFH system and OFDM/DS system with the equal information rate in partial band jamming and tone jamming channel. We find BER(bit error rate) in the variation of JFR(jamming fractional ratio) and JSR(jamming to signal power ratio) of the partial band jamming. Also, BER is found in the several JSR of the single tone or multi tone jamming. OFDM/DS system shows better performance than OFDM/SFH system in partial band jamming environment. OFDM/DS system has about 2.5 ㏈ SNR(signal to noise power ratio) gains than OFDM/SFH system when JFR=4/16 and JSR=0 ㏈ to meet BER=10$\^$-3/. However, OFDM/SFH system has about 3 ㏈ SNR gains than OFDM/DS system at single tone jamming of JSR=5 ㏈. In multi tone jamming, performance of OFDM/SFH system is considerably degraded than OFDM/DS system.

In this paper, we compare the performance of IS-OFDM(interference suppressing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) system with that of the conventional OFDM system. Each parallel branch symbol of IS-OFDM is multiplied by the orthogonal sequence and distributed into all sub-carriers. Then, each sub-carrier transmits information composed of the symbol components of all parallel branches in the given frame. The structure of IS-OFDM shows the frequency diversity characteristic. Therefore, IS-OFDM can be robust to the narrowband interference. BER performances are found in the narrow-band interference and a harmonic noise channels. When JSR(Jamming to signal ratio) increases from -10 dB to +10 dB in the constant interference bandwidth, IS-OFDM outperforms the conventional OFDM and the BER difference between IS-OFDM and OFDM is reduced as JSR increases. Also, the similar properly can be shown when interference bandwidth increases at the constant JSR. In the harmonic noise channel, we can find the good performance of IS-OFDM when the h-rate(harmonic noise bandwidth to signal bandwidth ratio) increases from 0.01 to 0.8. So, simulation results show that the IS-OFDM is more robust to the interference than the conventional OFDM.

In this paper, we propose three symbol syn-chronization schemes for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) systems. The cyclic extension preceding OFDM symbols is of decisive importance for these schemes. The first scheme uses the phase-differential coding of the received OFDM signal. The second and the third schemes use the length of the received OFDM signal. All three schemes make symbol synchronization possible, even though there is a frequency off-set in the system. Simulation results show that these schemes can be used to synchronize an OFDM system over AWGN and multi-path fading channels.

In this paper, we propose an OFDM scheme to increase the BER performance. The proposed OFDM scheme makes the baseband OFDM signal by using the oversampled OFDM signal values which are obtained by inserting N(=2$\^$k/) zeros and carrying out 2N point IFFT. In the demodulation part, the sampling operation for A/D conversion is carried out with the 2 times high sampling speed. 2 N point FFT is carried out for the data demodulation. In this paper, we show, with the mathematical method and the computer simulation, that the SNR of the proposed OFDM scheme is 3 dB higher than that of the conventional OFDM in the same AWGN channel conditions given.
