Abstract

In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, a common interpolation method is the linear interpolation in in-phase and quadrature components (I-Q interpolation). Linear interpolation of amplitude and phase (A-P interpolation) is rarely used in practice since it is inferior to I-Q interpolation in terms of performance and computational complexity. For imperfect frame synchronization,  the effect of cyclic prefix (CP) removal prior to the A-P interpolation is studied and compared with I-Q interpolation. A universal expression of mean square error in A-P and I-Q interpolations is given. Analyses show that A-P interpolation mainly depends on frequency correlation of the channels, and is less affected by preact of CP removal, while
I-Q interpolation is affected by both frequency correlation of the channels and preact of CP removal. Thus, A-P interpolation can also be used when the synchronization performance is poor.
