Abstract

In this paper we consider phase tracking algorithms for single carrier systems with frequency domain equalizers (SC/FDE), which make use of the concept of unique word (UW) blockwise extension instead of the classical concept of cyclic prefix (CP) like it is used for example in OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing). Very similar to IEEE 802.11a like OFDM systems the overall baseband processing performance of SC/FDE systems largely depends on the design of channel estimation and synchronization algorithms. Some of the synchronization tasks are very straight forward, but the algorithm developer has a lot of freedom for the design of the channel estimator, and for the design of the residual carrier frequency offset tracking procedure (which we call phase tracking). In this paper we focus on the design and performance of unique word based phase tracking algorithms, which are being compared with pilot carrier based phase tracking algorithms for IEEE 802.11a like OFDM systems.
