Abstract

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.

본 논문에서는 oversampling에 의하여 BER 성능을 개선할 수 있는 OFDM 변복조 방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 OFDM 변복조 방식은 사용하는 반송파 개수 N과 동일한 개수의 0 데이터를 삽입하여 2N point IFFT하여 전송한다. 수신단에서는 두 배 높은 주파수로 샘플링하여 2N point FFT하여 신호를 복조한다. 본 논문에서는 AWGN 환경에서 제안된 방식이 기존의 방식에 비하여 SNR에서 3 dB 성능 개선이 이루어진다는 것을 수학적인 증명을 시도하였다. 또한 컴퓨터 시뮬레션을 통하여 AWGN 채널 환경에서 기존의 방식과 제안된 방식의 BER 성능을 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 동일 에러 확률 성능을 얻기 위한 Eb/No이 3 dB 개선됨을 보였다.
