About the OFDM time domain signals

• It appears as Gaussian distribution• The truncation of amplifier may cause

distortion of the received signals• The incorrect A/D conversion range may

cause the distortion of the received signals• The special time domain synchronization

procedure should be introduced

20

Why the synchronization is needed?

•To get the starting point of the FFT window

•The guard period is used for the symbol synchronization

•The guard period is not used for the signal demodulation

Exercise 2

• Build OFDM system with 8 times upper sampling

• The channel are three types:– Ch-1: No AWGN and no multipath delay– Ch-2: AWGN channel– Ch-3: multipath delay without AWGN (channel

parameters can be decided by yourself)

38

Exercise 2: Show the following figures and discuss the results

• Get time domain signal histograms for Ch-1, Ch-2, Ch-3, after down sampling, three figures (figure 1-3, see instruction 2-1)

• Perform time domain symbol synchronizations before or after down sampling for Ch-1, Ch-2, Ch-3, three figures, (Figure 4-6, see instruction 2-2)

• Modulate signal 1 on all sub-carriers, show the frequency domain response for Ch-1, Ch-2, Ch-3, in real and imaginary parts separately, three figures (figure 7-9, see instruction 2-3)

• Assume the pilot signals are given in page 32 and 33, using Ch-3 channel, perform interpolation for channel response estimation. Draw the figure together with Figure 9 see instruction 2-4)

• The instructions are given in the following pages

Instruction 2-1: How to make OFDM system

• OFDM systems can be made simply by adding the yellow color blocks to your first exercise -16QAM communication system (Assume FFT point N=512; length of guard interval = 100)

• Build OFDM transmitter– Generate binary data sequence, for example length=N×4×10– Perform 16QAM modulation– Make 16QAM symbol as frames of length N, total 10 frames– Perform IFFT to each frame– Add guard interval to each frame, then, frame length = N+G– Make a vector consist of all frames, length of vector=(N+G) ×10– Up sampling and low pass filtering

• Build OFDM Receiver– Make received symbol (after down sampling) as frames of length N+G, total 10 frames– Remove guard interval for each frame– Perform IFFT to each frame– Make a vector consist of all frames, length of vector=N ×10

• In AWGN channel, the BER performance should be same as the original 16QAM system

• The histogram is shown in blue block for three channels

Instructions 2-4: channel response estimation of OFDM systems

• Assume you have pilot subcarriers with carrier number 1,5,9,13…,

• The pilot subcarriers are modulated by signal value 1 and rest of subcarriers are empty

• You get received signals at those pilot subcarriers (in fact it is frequency domain channel response)

• You need to get the frequency domain channel response of the empty subcarriers, you can do the interpolation as shown in the next page
