A software radio OFDM bandpass sampling receiver and the effects of aperture jitter on performance

Abstract

Software radio is a technology that aims to enable the realisation of multi-mode, multi-band digital wireless communications transceivers in order to provide interoperability between heterogeneous networks. Bandpass sampling is considered as a potential solution for the efficient implementation of sampling at IF or RF. This paper describes the performance of a bandpass sampling OFDM receiver and the effect of aperture jitter on system performance.
