Abstract
In this paper, it is proposed a new unique word (UW) OFDM waveform based on zero-tail discrete Sine transform spread OFDM (ZT UW DST-S OFDM). The proposed waveform improves the ZT DST-S-OFDM and UW OFDM methods by removing the influence of the data symbols on the tail of the transmitted signal. In this study, the effects of different UW sequences such as Zadoff-Chu, CAZAC, 15 bit PN, 8 bit complementary code keying (CCK), 0-word, 1-word and −1-word on the bit error rate (BER) and channel tracking (Doppler) performance of the proposed ZT UW DST-S OFDM systems are investigated. In order to test the performance of the proposed method, computer simulation studies are performed on time invariant and time variant frequency selective Rayleigh fading channels. The obtained results confirm that the proposed waveform has better BER and channel tracking (Doppler) performance than the conventional OFDM and ZT DFT-S OFDM systems. In particular, it is observed that the ZT UW DST-S OFDM using Zadoff-Chu sequence has the best BER and channel tracking performance.
