Based on a MSK interpretation of the modulation (O-QPSK) specified by the standard, the proposed demodulator is made up of an asynchronous zero crossing detector (AZCD) and of modified matched filters to recover the transmitted data. AZCD topology is simple, low cost and low power since it is mainly built with logic gates. At the output of the detector, a bank of 16 modified matched filters is used to despread and to decode the received symbols. Simulation shows that the demodulator performances (symbol error rate) are good enough to fulfill 802.15.4 requirements. Indeed, the use of the proposed demodulator involves the design of zero-IF receiver with a noise factor (NF) lower than 16.5 dB, which is achievable in a low-cost CMOS process.","PeriodicalId":244560,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126726967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we analyze the performance of structure based CFO estimation algorithm for multi-user interleaved OFDMA uplink recently proposed in the literature. It is shown that CFO estimation error is insensitive to the user's channel type because signal structure is conserved due to the maximal frequency diversity of interleaved scheme. Some performance loss occurs in the case of inter symbol interference. It is also shown that algorithm is very robust to the near-far effect (20 dB) when there are no timing errors. Underestimation of number of CFOs (users) is possible when SNR is low. We examine a modification of the original algorithm which lowers underestimation probability with the same amount of computations.","PeriodicalId":244560,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116265097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
