Abstract
Conference Title: 2016 International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC) Conference Start Date: 2016, Sept. 5 Conference End Date: 2016, Sept. 9 Conference Location: Paphos, Cyprus Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems are very sensitive to carrier phase offset. In this paper, challenges regarding the provision of phase offset in orthogonal space time block codes (STBC) coded MIMO systems over Rayleigh fading channels are addressed. We develop a novel robust phase offsets estimation algorithm for MIMO systems based on STBC codes. Simulation results prove that the proposed phase offsets synchronizer provides accurate estimation.
