OFDM synchronization for the MIMO testbed

This research will focus on how synchronization can be achieved and how the implementation of it can be accomplished. Several real world interferences which hamper the synchronization will be looked at and how these interferences can be dealt with. The main goal will be to make a software implementation which is able to demodulate the data received by the Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) testbed. Various aspects of the demodulation are treated, such as time synchronization, frequency synchronization, carrier frequency offset compensation and channel equalization. The MIMO testbed has been developed by the Signals and Systems group of the University of Twente to test various algorithms in real world office situations.
