摘要:
An apparatus and method for OFDM demodulation establish symbol synchronization to minimize between-symbol interference even under an environment where multipath occurs.An incoming signal is an OFDM signal including a transmission symbol structured by a valid symbol period and a guard interval, and a predetermined synchronization symbol is included in the OFDM signal for every transmission frame. A correlator calculates how a signal generated by a synchronization symbol generator and the OFDM signal are correlated. A correlation calculator then calculates a correlation therefrom. An integrator integrates the calculated correlation by the guard interval. A timing determination device determines symbol timing from the integrated correlation. An FFT window generator outputs operation timing for Fourier transform from the determined symbol timing. Based on the signal outputted from the FFT window generator, the apparatus for OFDM demodulation extracts a signal in the valid symbol period from the transmission symbol for demodulation.
