OFDM

   OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division
    Multiplexing)
   Use N overlapped orthogonal sub-carriers to
    carry information
CFO

  CFO (Carrier Frequency Offset)
 Local oscillators are not synchronized well
 Introduce ICI
  (results in the
data disturbance)
IBI

   IBI (Inter Block Interference)
   Wireless channels are usually multi-path
    fading channels
   If the channel impulse response length is
    larger than the guard interval length in OFDM
    systems, this results in IBI.
IQ-Imbalance

   IQ-imbalance arises when the signal in I and
    Q channels do not meet the orthogonality
    and the power balance.
Motivation

   The analog front-end imperfections (IQ-
    Imbalance and CFO) and poor channel
    condition (IBI effect) cause a severe
    degradation in performance for OFDM
    systems.
   Study the equalization techniques that are
    robust against the imperfections.
Plan

   Model the channel condition and OFDM
    system
   Take CFO, IBI and IQ-Imbalance into
    consideration
   Study the equalization techniques
   Implement the equalization techniques
   Simulation
