Abstract

Cyclic delay diversity (CDD) is a simple transmit diversity technique for an OFDM system using multiple transmit antennas. However, the performance of post-FFT estimation, i.e., integer frequency offset (lFO) is deteriorated by high frequency selectivity introduced by CDD. In this paper, the IFO estimation scheme is proposed for OFDM-based DRM+ system with CDD. Based on the pilot subset partitioning, the proposed IFO estimation scheme reduces the effect of performance degradation caused by frequency selectivity in OFDM systems with CDD . The simulation results show that the performance of the proposed IFO estimator is significantly improved when compared to that of the conventional IFO estimator.

CDD(Cyclic Delay Diversity)는 다중 전송 안테나를 사용하는 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템에서 간단히 전송 다이버시티를 얻을 수 있는 기법이다. 그러나 CDD 안테나가 적용된 OFDM 시스템에서 형성되는 채널의 주파수 선택적 특성은 정수배 주파수 옵셋(Integer Frequency Offset)과 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) 이후의 동기화 기법들의 성능 감쇄를 발생시킨다. 본 논문은 CDD를 갖는 OFDM 기반의 DRM+ 시스템을 위한 향상된 정수배 주파수 옵셋 추정 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법에서는 채널의 주파수 특성이 동일한 파일롯 부분 집합을 선택함으로써 CDD에 형성되는 채널의 주파수 선택적 특성에 의한 정수배 주파수 옵셋 추정의 열화 성능을 감소시킨다. 모의실험 결과를 통해 제안된 기법의 정수배 주파수 옵셋 추정 성능이 기존 기법에 비해 향상됨을 보인다.
