In this project, We will model a baseband OFDM transceiver for high speed wireless local area network (WLAN) compatible with the IEEE 802.11a physical layer. Special attention will be paid to the receiver initialization. For optimal performance the receiver and transmitter must adapt to the channel and noise characteristics during initialization. The receiver must estimate the channel and noise, perform channel equalization and also synchronize to the transmitter. A joint estimation of symbol timing and the channel will be considered in our project. Initially, Zukang will be more on timing recovery issue and Ming will take care of channel identification. Then a combined approach will be developed jointly.
