A one-tap equalizer is employed at the receiver for the simulated OFDM system that uses 64-point FFT (fast Fourier transform) with 52 subcarriers carrying data.
As are shown, the adverse effects due to radio impairments are removed almost completely by the proposed calibration.

5.5 Summary
In Chapter 5, a digital self-calibration method is proposed for the direct-conversion radio trans-ceiver to calibrate its own transmitter and retrans-ceiver radio impairments, including fre-quency-independent I-Q imbalance, frequency-dependent I-Q imbalance, and dc offset. By in-troducing a shift between transmit and receive frequencies, the radio impairments appearing at the transmitter and receiver can be calibrated simultaneously without a dedicated analog circuitry in the feedback loop. The calibration parameters are estimated based on the non-linear least-squares principle, and the calibration performance is analyzed that agrees very well with the simulations. In addition, the issue of optimal training design is investigated; sufficient conditions for optimal training are provided, and an example of optimal training is given for the periodic training structure. Analytical and simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Chapter 6 Conclusions
In this dissertation, the radio impairment estimation and compensation techniques are investi-gated for the wideband MIMO communication systems with direct-conversion radio architecture.
A complete set of radio impairments is taken into consideration, including frequency-independent and dependent I-Q imbalances, dc offset and frequency offset. Both estimation/compensation and self-calibration techniques are studied in this dissertation.
The estimation/compensation technique is to remove the impairments from the received sig-nal during communication at the receiving side. In Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, the estimation and cancellation techniques for MIMO systems are investigated, with Chapter 3 focusing on receiver radio impairments for any types of MIMO systems and extended to cascaded transmitter and re-ceiver radio impairments for MIMO-OFDM systems in Chapter 4. First, a two-stage cancellation architecture is developed, which enables to explicitly cancel the radio impairments without in-creasing the dimension of signal detection. The two-stage architecture generalizes the cancella-tion architectures for various types of system configuracancella-tions such as wireless peer-to-peer com-munication, downlink and uplink of a mobile cellular system. Moreover, it is general to accom-modate different forms of MIMO operation including spatial multiplexing, STBC (space-time
block coded) and transmit beam forming, with any number of transmit and receive antennas.
Second, several methods of estimation of radio parameters are proposed. The optimum method is the joint least squares estimation of all radio parameters, which is shown to be unbiased and ap-proaches to CRLB for the SNRs of interest, but with the highest complexity. Several other meth-ods are then developed aiming to reduce the estimation complexity, including the special phase-rotated periodic training design, simplified frequency and dc offset estimators and low-complexity iterative estimation aided by periodic training. Simulation results show that the un-coded BER performance degradation is negligible when using the reduced-complexity designs, and the proposed techniques outperform the existing ones in error-rate performance and/or the number of training symbols required.
On the other hand, the self-calibration is a technique to remove the transceiver’s own radio impairments before communication. In Chapter 5, we propose to calibrate its own transmitter and receiver radio impairments, including frequency-independent I-Q imbalance, fquency-dependent I-Q imbalance, and dc offset. By introducing a shift between transmit and re-ceive frequencies, the radio impairments appearing at the transmitter and rere-ceiver can be cali-brated simultaneously without a dedicated analog circuitry in the feedback loop. Based on the time-domain approach, the proposed method is applicable to all types of communication systems.
In addition, the issue of optimal training design is investigated; sufficient conditions for optimal training are provided with an example of optimal periodic training design. Analytical and simula-tion results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed self-calibrasimula-tion technique.
Some possible extensions and future research topics are addressed in the following. Both types of techniques can be further extended to combine with PA linearization and other synchro-nization issues such as signal detection, timing and clock offset estimation. The estimation meth-ods can be investigated in the pilot-based systems without initial acquisition or training, and non-data-aided estimation technique can also be explored. Training sequence design to optimize the performance of the estimation/compensation technique might be another issue.
