In this letter,P × N-pointIFFT is proposed to replace the N-point IFFT and analog fre-quency conversion in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)-based Ultra-WideBand (UWB) system,and a new algorithm,named fast P × N-pointIFFT,is designed to reduce the com-plexity of the P × N-pointIFFT in the proposed scheme.

A Time-Frequency Associated MUSIC Algorithm Research on Human Target Detection by Through-Wall Radar

In this paper,a time-frequency associated multiple signal classification(MUSIC)al-gorithm which is suitable for through-wall detection is proposed.The technology of detecting hu-man targets by through-wall radar can be used to monitor the status and the location information of human targets behind the wall.However,the detection is out of order when classical MUSIC al-gorithm is applied to estimate the direction of arrival.In order to solve the problem,a time-fre-quency associated MUSIC algorithm suitable for through-wall detection and based on S-band stepped frequency continuous wave(SFCW)radar is researched.By associating inverse fast Fouri-er transform(IFFT)algorithm with MUSIC algorithm,the power enhancement of the target sig-nal is completed according to the distance calculation results in the time domain.Then convert the signal to the frequency domain for direction of arrival(DOA)estimation.The simulations of two-dimensional human target detection in free space and the processing of measured data are com-pleted.By comparing the processing results of the two algorithms on the measured data,accuracy of DOA estimation of proposed algorithm is more than 75%,which is 50%higher than classical MUSIC algorithm.It is verified that the distance and angle of human target can be effectively de-tected via proposed algorithm.

Novel Low-Complexity Low-Latency Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Transmitter

Traditional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) transmitter is implemented by exploiting inverse fast Fourier transform(IFFT), up-sampling, and low pass shaping filter(LPSF) modules, which occupy a large number of hardware resources and severely lower down the operation speed. To address these limitations, we propose a novel OFDM transmitter architecture, by which the aforementioned modules can be discarded and replaced with some simple switches. In the proposed architecture, direct digital synthesis(DDS) method is employed to generate digital sub-carriers and to transform OFDM data from frequency domain to time domain. Through some sophisticated simplifications, the proposed architecture can avoid using multipliers and remarkably save hardware resources. Finally, comparative experiments are carried out on field programmable gate array(FPGA) platform which demonstrates that our DDS-based architecture saves more than half of the hardware resources and doubles the achievable maximum frequency compared with traditional structure.

Improvement and Analysis of Carrier-Interferometry Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing System

This paper proposes to use Fast Fourier Transform （ FFT ） / Inverse Fast Fourier Transform （IFFT）, instead of vector-matrix multiplication, to implement the spreading/despreoding in Carrier-Interferometry Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing （ CI/OFDM） and Pseudo-Orthogonal Carrier lnterferometry OFDM （PO-CI/OFDM）. That can improve the signal processing efficiency of CI/OFDM and PO-CI/OFDM systems by about 2N/log2N and 2N/（ 1 ＋ log2 N） times respectively and dose not make any difference to the system function and performance. Moreover, the effi- ciency benefits will increase with the increase of the number of sub-carriers. In addition to that, we point out that the transmitter of CI/OFDM is actually technically equivalent to that of a single-carrier system with cyclic-prefix and the receiver of CI/OFDM is a typical OFDM receiver with CI despreading. Hence the low Peak-to-Average Power Ratio （PA- PR） property and high anti-fading performance of CI/OFDM system can be well explained .
