Abstract

A significant amount of work has been carried out on the application of six-port receivers for single carrier communications and for the impulse ultra-wideband radio, however a small interest has been shown on the research of its use for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems. OFDM and its derived forms are now essential multi-carrier modulation techniques for various present and future high speed wireless communication systems. In this paper, we investigate the possible application of direct conversion six-port receiver for the OFDM signal. The application of six-port receiver for the OFDM signal proves its suitability for the present and future wireless communication systems based on standards such as IEEE 802.11x, 802.16x and 802.15.
