Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for blind frequency synchronization. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: downconverting a received orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signal to baseband; identifying, from the downconverted received signal, a series of OFDM symbols in the time domain; performing a fast Fourier transform (FFT) on a block of several time domain samples to turn the time domain OFDM symbols into frequency domain OFDM symbols, one sample per subcarrier in the received OFDM signal; computing a cross-correlation between in-phase and quadrature samples in each subcarrier and for each frequency domain OFDM symbol, wherein the cross-correlation may be computed as a sum of products of either squares or absolute values of the in-phase and quadrature samples; and summing the computed cross-correlation across the series of symbols and across all subcarriers to determine a frequency offset for the received OFDM signal.
