Abstract
SUMMARYIn this paper, we consider the problem of frequency acquisition synchronization by using multiple antennas over wireless fading channels. We introduce frequency synchronization with different combining schemes including space diversity and time diversity. Their performance is estimated for a Rayleigh fading channel with an analysis both theoretically and by simulation. We investigate the relationship between the mean squared error (MSE) and the average signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) for combining of different blocks and antennas. Both the carrier frequency offset and the sampling frequency offset are estimated when multiple antennas are utilized for signal transmission. The estimation with maximum ratio combining (MRC) scheme is presented in detail, and the estimation with selection combining scheme and equal gain combining scheme are introduced briefly. The simulation results explicitly show that the performance of the frequency acquisition synchronization with MRC scheme is better than that of others and that the MSE at low SNR is not very close to the Cramér–Rao low bound in multiblock combining frequency synchronization. Furthermore, the results address that in order to improve the performance, the total number of receive antennas will be increased exponentially. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
