Simulation of Synchronization Algorithms in OFDM Modulation Systems

This MATLAB-developed simulation focuses on synchronization algorithms in OFDM modulation systems, offering significant support for comprehending synchronization techniques. The simulation employs advanced synchronization methods including timing synchronization using cyclic prefix correlation and frequency synchronization through pilot-based phase estimation to ensure accurate signal transmission. Through simulation analysis of these algorithms, users can gain deeper insights into their operational principles and advantages, such as reduced inter-symbol interference (ISI) and improved carrier frequency offset (CFO) compensation. The implementation includes MATLAB functions like xcorr() for cross-correlation calculations and fft()/ifft() for OFDM signal processing. By adjusting synchronization parameters such as correlation threshold values and pilot symbol patterns, users can optimize system performance while enhancing signal reliability and transmission efficiency. This simulation project holds substantial importance for both academic research and practical implementation of synchronization algorithms.
