APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR I/Q OFFSET CANCELLATION IN SC-FDMA SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for eliminating I/Q offset in a receiver of a SC-FDMA system which improves performance of the system by accurate measurement and cancellation of I/Q offset in a receiver of a SC-FDMA system operating in a 3GPP LTE uplink. An apparatus for eliminating I/Q offset in a receiver of the SC-FDMA system constituting the receiver of the SC-FDMA system includes: a linear interpolation channel estimation unit for estimating channel using demodulation reference symbol (DMRS) that is a training sequence (X) corresponding to the discrete Fourier transformed signal (Y) that has passed through frame sync acquisition, frequency compensation and cyclic prefix elimination; a signal regeneration/cancellation unit for calculating I/Q offset (D=Y−Y′) by subtracting the discrete Fourier transformed signal (Y) from the ideal discrete Fourier transformed signal (Y′=H′X) generated by using channel coefficient (H′), that is an output of the linear interpolation channel estimation unit, and the DMRS that is the training sequence (X); and an I/Q offset measurement/cancellation unit for generating VQ offset-free signal (YNoDC=Y−D′) by subtracting I/Q offset (D′) having corrected phase and power of the VQ offset (D=Y−Y′) from the discrete Fourier transformed signal (Y).
