“…Therefore, the correlators are designed to compute cross correlation with 64 constant coefficients. In this brief, we explore two approaches to implement such correlators [9]. The first is based on Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA DSP48E1 Slices which is the standard approach to such an implementation.…”

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a reliable technology for high-speed data transmission by virtue of its spectral efficiency and robustness to multi-path fading. These advantages can be achieved only with good synchronization both in time and frequency. This paper introduces efficient synchronization methods for an OFDM based system, IEEE 802.16d. A symbol timing synchronization scheme is critical in the design of an OFDM receiver. Large timing errors can result in loss of orthogonality between subcarrier, ISI and severe bit degradation. To minimize this degradation two kinds of synchronization algorithms are provided: Auto-correlation and cross correlation. This brief discusses these techniques used in synchronization of OFDM and which one is preferred.

L-band Digital Aeronautical Communication System type-1 (L-DACS1) is an emerging standard that aims at enhancing air traffic management (ATM) by transitioning the traditional analog aeronautical communication systems to the superior and highly efficient digital domain. L-DACS1 employs modern and efficient orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation technique to achieve more efficient and higher data rate in comparison to the existing aeronautical communication systems. However, the performance of OFDM systems is very sensitive to synchronization errors. L-DACS1 transmission is in the L-band aeronautical channels that suffer from large interference and large Doppler shifts, which makes the synchronization for L-DACS more challenging. This paper proposes a novel computationally efficient synchronization method for L-DACS1 systems that offers robust performance. Through simulation, the proposed method is shown to provide accurate symbol timing offset (STO) estimation as well as fractional carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation in a range of aeronautical channels. In particular, it can yield excellent synchronization performance in the face of a large carrier frequency offset.

The advanced communication system uses wireless broadband access technologies which provide high speed data connectivity to the subscribers. One of the most popular wireless access technology is Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and it is based on IEEE 802.16 standard. WiMAX used Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is an effective modulation technique to improve the timing synchronization. The performance of channel is affected due to the synchronization mismatching between the transmitter and receiver ends. To achieve the timing synchronization in IEEE 802.16 systems, the cross correlator is used to synchronize the received signal with the known signal. In this paper, two high speed correlators are proposed based on Q1.15 format, which is used to validate the timing synchronization problem. The proposed work has been mapped on XC6VCX75T FPGA and simulations are carried out on the Xilinx-ISIM platform. The implementation result shows that the power delay product reduction is 40.81%, and delay reduction is 39.59% over the conventional multiplier less correlators.
