Abstract

Passive intermodulation can lead to a decrease in the performance of frame synchronization for the orthogonal-frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. In this paper, the Schmidl&Cox algorithm of frame synchronization is simplified by difference calculation to avoid overly complicated analysis. The statistical properties of time metric function in the presence of passive intermodulation interference are obtained by Gaussian distribution fitting. The closed form of false and missing detection probabilities are derived to evaluate the frame synchronization performance. Finally, simulations are conducted to demonstrate the validity of the analysis results.
