  • Patent number: 9036725
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for adjusting FFT window of OFDM system. The method is categorized two scenarios when the maximum delay length of the channel is shorter than the guard interval length and when the maximum delay length of the channel is longer than the guard interval length. In respective scenarios, the method comprises steps: Step A, multiplying the guard interval (A1) damaged due to the path fading channel delay by a weighted value (?); Step B, multiplying the guard interval (A2) not damaged due to the path fading channel delay by a weighted value (1-?); and Step C, Adding the guard intervals of Step A and Step B together (A3) to be inputted into FFT; minimizing the inter-symbol interference, the inter-channel interference and the noise.
