Summary :

It is well known that Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) scheme is robust to frequency selective fading in wireless channels. However, once delayed signals beyond a guard interval of an OFDM symbol are introduced in a channel with large delay spread, inter-symbol interference causes a severe degradation in the transmission performance. In this paper, we propose a novel pre-Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) OFDM adaptive antenna array, which requires only one FFT processor at a receiver, for suppressing such delayed signals. We analytically derive the optimum weights for the beamformer based on the Maximum Signal-to-Noise-and-Interference power Ratio (SNIR) and the Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) criteria, respectively. Computer simulation results show its good performance even in a channel where Directions of Arrival (DoAs) of arriving waves are randomly determined.
