Pseudo-random sequence and pilots in OFDM - vcteo - Nov 22 20:26:00 2005
Hi, i'm doing a project on OFDM and currently i'm just playing around
and exploring with the HiperLan/2 demo that comes together with Simulink.
I noticed at OFDM transmission, pilots are inserted and these pilots
are single sample datas inserted regularly btwn the actual data. These
pilots are generated by a Pseudo-random binary generator block.
What is this block? What is the theory behind it? And why do we use
this block to generate the pilots?

Hello,
Pilot signals are inserted in between (or at the beginning) of data samples
to aid channel estimation, synchronization and equalization. Mostly these
procedures requires the computation of auto and cross correlations of the
pilot samples. As PN sequences have good auto/cross correlation properties,
they are the simplest choices for pilot sequences.

Thx, regarding the PN sequence. They are only quasi-random bits generated by an algorithm
right?
So, if they are just bits of 1 or -1 what makes them possess such correlation properties? Is it
the combination of the bits that create such properties?

hai,
Ya...u r right...Some special combinations of 1's and -1's pocesses some
wonderful correlation properties...These sequences are called Maximal Length
(ML) sequences. There are some more variants like Gold codes, Kasami codes
etc that too pocess similar properties...
