Abstract
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has recently received considerable interest for its advantages in high-bit-rate transmissions over frequency-selective fading channels. Space-time block coding (STBC) has emerged as a powerful approach to exploit spatial diversity and to combat fading in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems. However, OFDM systems with direct-conversion RF receivers are very sensitive to non-idealities at the front-end of receiver, such as I/Q imbalance and carrier frequency o↵set (CFO). These non-idealities at the receiver result in intercarrier interference (ICI). Accurate estimates of the non-idealities and channel response are required in OFDM systems. This thesis studies the blind CFO and I/Q imbalance estimation for OFDM systems with multiple transmit antennas. The thesis consists of three parts. In the first part, we review an existing CFO and I/Q imbalance estimation method based on rank criterion. This method though gives good performance but not for joint estimation, it cannot estimate the I/Q imbalance in the presense of CFO. In order to solve this issue, we propose an improved method. In the second part, we propose a new rank criteron and group method for joint CFO and independent I/Q imbalance estimation. The proposed method exploits the redundant information in OSTBC for joint blind CFO and I/Q imbalance estimation. In the third part, we extend the proposed method to the estimation of frequency dependent I/Q imbalance in the presence of CFO. We also provide numerical simulation to verify the performance of the proposed methods.
