A Blind Frequency Offset Estimator for OFDM/OQAM Systems

Overview Like other OFDM-like systems, OFDM/OQAM systems are very sensitive to carrier frequency offset. A new blind carrier frequency estimator is introduced herein for OFDM- /OQAM systems by exploiting the non-circularity of the received signal. Since the received signal exhibits conjugate cyclic frequencies at twice the carrier frequency offset, a frequency estimator is proposed by maximizing a cost function expressed in terms of the sample conjugate cyclocor-relations. Computer simulations illustrate that the proposed estimator is very accurate whenever large observation windows are available, is robust to timing errors and frequency-selective fading effects.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Wireless everything

Each signal is allocated different time and micro-frequency relationships that can only be unscrambled by an a priori knowledge embedded in selected receivers. The electronics to operate in 'cocktail party' mode and filter out the desired signal by...

RFID let off the royalties hook

It's also designed to be less vulnerable to signal interference, as well as supporting larger-scale projects that involve millions of RFID tags. A cloud hanging over the future of radio frequency identification technology disappeared Thursday with...

Radioactive: Bluetooth - survival of the fastest

The opposing technology approaches are orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and direct sequence (DS)-UWB. The former method, backed by Intel, is more complex: it chops up the signal and sends it over multiple frequency bands.

Breaking on through to 4G

It encodes information onto tiny pulses of radio energy in a similar fashion to some kinds of Ultrawideband (UWB), but includes a timing signal on a separate frequency that makes the receiver's job a lot easier.

Will's Web Watch: Who's been eating my wi-fi?

That is absolutely the environment," I'm told of this shocking decline in the signal strength. The effect of this is that just two metres away from the access point, the signal is down to less than 50 per cent.

Complexity makes travellers miss their connection

In the not too distant future, you will be able to add 3G Long Term Evolution (LTE), mobile WiMax, multiple in multiple out (MiMo) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to the mix. David Perry, product marketing, carrier, VoIP and...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
