Abstract:Electrical wireless network constructs the 4G wireless TD-LTE network in the 1.8 GHz band, where Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) is one of the key technologies. However, OFDM is sensitive to Carrier Frequency Offset(CFO) which will result in serious degradation of system performance. Therefore, accuracy of the CFO estimation is significant for the OFDM system and is required to ensure the performance. A blind CFO estimation for OFDM systems via local searching Multiple Signal Classification(MUSIC) algorithm is proposed. The algorithm constructs an improved spatial spectral function by combining the orthogonality between the column vectors of the CFO matrix and the noise subspace, and the single peak characteristic of CFO. The CFO estimation is obtained by local peak searching, and the problem of missing peaks under low SNR in traditional MUSIC algorithm can be overcome. Comparing to the traditional CFO estimation approaches, the proposed algorithm can improve CFO estimation performance. The simulation results validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm.
