System Design • Symbol rates supported 1Msps, 2Msps,5Msps,10Msps,12.5Msps • Channel coding Rate 2/3 convolutional code • Modulation schemes supported BPSK, 4-QAM, 16-QAM • Pulse Shaping Raised cosine pulse shape with roll-off 0.5
System Design • Passband Bandwidth 1MHz, 2MHz, 5MHz, 10MHz, 12.5MHz • Number of subcarriers N (= FFT Size) 64 • Length of Cyclic Prefix Lc 16 • PAPR Oversample Factor 4
System Design • Symbol Timing Extraction Max Energy, Early-Late Gate Method • Frame Timing & Frequency Offset Estimation Schmidl-Cox Algorithm • Channel Estimation & Equalization IEEE 802.11a training sequence
PAPR Reduction Techniques • Interleaving • Amplitude Clipping & Filtering (RCF) • Selection Level Mapping (SLM) • Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) • Active Constellation Exchange (ACE) • Tone Injection
Experiment IPAPR Measurement for unusually high PAPR Signals
Procedure • Loop back Tx-Rx by an RF cable • Send a sequence of all ones (1’s) so that the max. theoretical PAPR is reached (N – Number of subcarriers) • Oversample the Rx signal & calculate PAPR • Compare observed PAPR with theoretical results for the different schemes Max. PAPR = 10*log10(N)
System Setup for Expt. I • Data: All 1’s sequence • Symbol Rate: 1 Msps • Modulation scheme: 4-QAM • N=64, Lc=16 • No channel coding • Tx average power level = - 2.2dBm PEP is just below 17dBm! • Rx reference level = 20dBm
Effect of PA saturation • In-band distortion • 1dB compression point 13dBm @ 2.7G, 16dBm @ 2G • @2GHz @2.7GHz
Experiment IIPAPR Measurement of a typical OFDM signalComplementary CDF (CCDF) comparison
Procedure • Loop back Tx-Rx. by an RF cable • Send a sequence of random bits • Oversample the Rx signal & calculate PAPR for the different schemes • Plot the CCDF at Tx & Rx • Observe reduction in PAPR • Observe changes to Tx constellation
System Setup for Expt. II • Data: Random bits • Symbol Rate: 1 Msps • Modulation scheme: 4-QAM • N=64, Lc=16 • No channel coding • Tx average power level = -40dBm • Rx reference level = -20dBm
Effect of Tx Power Spectrum • Before RCF After RCF
Procedure • Transmit random bits over the wireless channel • Perform synchronization, offset, channel estimation & equalization • Find the BER for uncoded transmissions • Observe the impact of in-band distortion (esp. in RCF!) on BER
