152 Implementation IssuesThe aim of the coarse frequency estimation is mainly to estimate z. Depending on thetransmitted <strong>OFDM</strong> signal, different approaches for coarse frequency synchronization canbe used [12–14, 63, 78, 81].CAZAC/M sequencesA general approach is to analyze the transmitted special reference symbols at the beginningof an <strong>OFDM</strong> frame, for instance, the CAZAC/M sequences [63] specified in the DVB-T st<strong>and</strong>ard [19]. As shown in Figure 4-17, CAZAC/M sequences are generated in thefrequency domain <strong>and</strong> are embedded in I <strong>and</strong> R sequences. The CAZAC/M sequencesare differentially modulated. The length of the M sequences is much larger than the lengthof the CAZAC sequences. The I <strong>and</strong> R sequences have the same length N 1 , while in theI sequence (respectively R sequence) the imaginary (respectively real) components are1 <strong>and</strong> the real (respectively imaginary) components are 0. The I <strong>and</strong> R sequences areused as start positions for the differential encoding/decoding of M sequences. A widerangecoarse synchronization is achieved by correlating with the transmitted known Msequence reference data, shifted over ±N 1 sub-carriers (e.g. N 1 = 10 to 20) from theexpected center point [24, 63]. The results from different sequences are averaged. Thedeviation of the correlation peak from the expected center point z with −N 1
