Abstract:

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is attracting more attention for its capability of high speed transmission. However, the OFDM possesses an obvious shortage in its high ratio of the peak power to the average power (PAPR), which has become the main issue holding it back to be applied to the broadband satellite communication system. OFDM combined with time division multiplexing (TDM), dividing the subcarriers of OFDM into some blocks in time tune, can decrease the high PAPR of OFDM. Meanwhile, the advantages of OFDM can be preserved. In this paper, OFDM/TDM is applied to the broadband satellite communication system. This paper theoretically analyses OFDM/TDM system model as well as its restraining effect on PAPR, and proposes frequency domain multiplexing-pilot (FDM-Pilot) channel estimation algorithm. Simulation results show OFDM/TDM in broadband satellite communication system has approving performance and decreased the PAPR.

Key words:

OFDM/TDM, broadband satellite communication system, PAPR, channel estimation
