Abstract
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) allows for a spectrally efficient means of obtaining high data rates while simultaneously combating the effects of fading. The multi-carrier spectrum of OFDM mandates that the receiver accomplish a number of synchronization tasks to successfully demodulate the OFDM signal, including the critical requirement to synchronize the carrier frequency. Additional synchronization tasks include frame synchronization (packet detection), synchronization of the carrier phase, and symbol timing. Improved receiver synchronization algorithms may hold the prospect of superior performance; specifically allowing successful demodulation by the receiver at an extended range. This thesis discusses several promising synchronization algorithms. Furthermore, a performance analysis of these algorithms is conducted at low signal to noise ratio (SNR) in an AWGN channel using MATLAB.

    Synchronization analysis and simulation of a standard IEEE 802.11g OFDM signal 

    Lowham, Keith D. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2004-03);
    Synchronization of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed (OFDM) signals is significantly more difficult than synchronization of a single-carrier system. The recently approved IEEE Standard 802.11g specifies a packet-based ...
