摘要
OFDM (the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) and its variety DMT (the discrete multitone) as delegates of the multicarrier modulation technology have given a big impact on the conventional data communication applications. Based on the theoretic a analysis of the OFDM technology, the impact of phase noise that introduced by the bit and symbol timing mechanism is discussed. Then a pilot correction and the cyclic prefix protection method are put forwarded to deal with the problem. These methods have been used in our experimental OFDM cable modem system to cope with the impulse noise and narrow band interference in the HFC (hybrid fiber and coax) upstream channel.
