Abstract

OFDM receiver starts its work with detecting the received signals from the transmitter, thus to detect the received signal synchronization algorithm is worked out especially time synchronization algorithm. This paper deals with the design of Coarse time synchronization module for OFDM-based WLAN. The circuit is particularized for IEEE 802. 11a/g standards. The algorithms simulated are selected taking into account performance, hardware cost and latency. Our objective is to simulate Coarse time synchronization algorithm using modelsim 6. 3 tool through floating point representation and analyse it to have minimum hardware resources for the efficient receiver design. Thereby, comparing with fine time synchronization.
