Detailed Description

Schmidl & Cox synchronisation for OFDM.

Input: complex samples. Output 0: Fine frequency offset, scaled by the OFDM symbol duration. This is $\hat{\varphi}$ in [1]. The normalized frequency offset is then 2.0*output0/fft_len. Output 1: Beginning of the first OFDM symbol after the first (doubled) OFDM symbol. The beginning is marked with a 1 (it's 0 everywhere else).

The evaluation of the coarse frequency offset is not done in this block. Also, the initial equalizer taps are not calculated here.

Note that we use a different normalization factor in the timing metric than the authors do in their original work[1]. If the timing metric (8) is

\[ M(d) = \frac{|P(d)|^2}{(R(d))^2}, \]

we calculate the normalization as

\[ R(d) = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{k=0}^{N-1} |r_{k+d}|^2, \]

i.e., we estimate the energy from both half-symbols. This avoids spurious detects at the end of a burst, when the energy level suddenly drops.

static sptr gr::digital::ofdm_sync_sc_cfb::make ( int  fft_len,
int  cp_len,
bool  use_even_carriers = false 
)
static
Parameters
fft_lenFFT length
cp_lenLength of the guard interval (cyclic prefix) in samples
use_even_carriersIf true, the carriers in the sync preamble are occupied such that the even carriers are used (0, 2, 4, ...). If you use all carriers, that would include the DC carrier, so be careful.
