[0146] Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0147] The present invention contemplates a wireless communication device for receiving OFDM signals using a direct conversion architecture. A direct conversion architecture without the use of an IF filter easily implements a wideband receiver and increases receiver design flexibility.

[0148] A problem with OFDM communication systems is that small errors between the frequencies of the oscillators in the transmitter and receiver can cause a frequency offset, which is seen as a phase rotation phenomenon of the received signal in the digital part of the receiver. In a usual procedure, the frequency offset is observed and corrected for using a known training sequence added to the packet header of each packet.

[0149] However, direct conversion receivers have the problem of inducing a direct current component, or DC offset, at the output of the downconve...

[0297] The direct conversion OFDM receiving apparatus according to the first embodiment uses a technique that can accurately estimate a frequency offset by simple signal processing even in the presence of IQ imbalance and time-varying DC offset. The apparatus according to the first embodiment aims to provide a proper frequency offset estimation, but not to perform IQ imbalance correction together with the frequency offset correction.

Abstract

The invention provides a wireless communication device for receiving a package constituted by signal modulated by OFDM. A band-pass filter pick up OFDM signal of desired frequency band. The desired OFDM signal is amplified by low-pass amplifier based on the gain controlled by the received signal intensity. A frequency converter down-converses the FDM signal into baseband signal. An A / D converter converses the baseband signal into digital signal. A first high pass filter removes DC deviation from baseband signal corresponding to preset preamble of the package. A frequency shift etimator estimates frequency shift from the sampled signal which has removed DC deviation from baseband signal by the first high pass filter. A frequency shift corrector removes the estimated frequency shift from the baseband signal. A demodulator demodulates the subcarrier signal in the frequency domain from baseband signal which is compensated with frequency shift.
