The development of time transfer techniques using GPS carrier-phase observations promises the capability to deliver sub-nanosecond time transfer capabilities. Testing to date has shown that conventional GPS receivers introduce significant time offset in the carrier phase. NAVSYS have developed a GPS receiver capable of making observations with high phase stability. Test data is presented in thi...

Timing and frequency synchronizationsare the important tasks in receiver. In this paper, an efficient timing and carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation algorithm for orthogonal frequency division multiple access/ time division duplexing (OFDMA/TDD) mode in IEEE 802.16-2004 standard (WiMAX) is represented. This method has high performance and jointly estimates timing error and CFO. The perfor...

A high data rate, low power on-chip link in 28nm CMOS is presented. It features a double-sampling receiver with dynamic offset modulation and a capacitively-driven transmitter. The functionality of the link was validated using 4-7mm minimum-pitch on-chip wires. It achieves up to 20Gb/s of data rate (13.9Gb/s/μm) with BER< 10−12. It has better than 136fJ/b of power efficiency at 10Gb/s. The tota...

To enhance the performance and reduce the Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) at enhanced data rates in wireless communications, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is being used. The performance of OFDM is degraded due to frequency and timing offsets which increase the Bit Error Rate (BER) in the wireless communication. Frequency offsets are caused due to difference between transmitt...

A software radio is a radio whose channel modulation waveforms are defined in software. A software radio receiver is an embedded platform that can support different communication standards. All the base-band processing is performed on a DSP. On the receiver side, the base-band processing encompasses matched filtering of the incoming data, frame synchronization, frequency offset and phase offset...

Use of space-time codes with multiple transmit antennas has generated a lot of interest for increasing spectral efficiency as well as improved performance in wireless communications. Although, the literature on space-time coding is quite rich now, the orthogonal designs of Alamouti [1], Tarokh et al. [2, 3], Naguib and Seshádri [4] remain popular. The strength of orthogonal designs is that thes...

An efficient mixed-mode Gaussian frequency-shift keying (GFSK) demodulator with a frequency offset cancellation circuit is presented. The structure is suitable for a low-IF Bluetooth receiver and can also be applied to other receivers involving continuous phase shift keying (CPSK) signals. The demodulator implementation is robust to tolerate process variations without requiring calibration. It ...

The femtocell network allows connecting to cellular network through broadband connection. In femtocell, time with network synchronization becomes a critical issue at present. Synchronization is a process which is required in the femtocell network due to the shortcomings of centralized coordination between a number of femtocell Base Station (fBS) and clock synchronization server. Time synchroniz...

A DC-offset cancellation scheme in the 5GHz directconversion receiver compliant with IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN standard is described in this paper. It uses the analog R~F4~~ i"a I oU feedback loop to eliminate the DC-offset at the output of the double-balanced mixer.

As a promising technique for high data-rate transmission, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is being considered for many emerging wireless applications. In fact, it has been successfully used in many environments, such as DAB, DVB, and HiperLAN-II. In a classical OFDM system, the entire bandwidth is divided into many orthogonal subcarriers, where information symbols are transmit...
