Abstract
In this letter, we propose an integer carrier frequency offset (IFO) estimator in the presence of symbol timing error for an ultra-wideband multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (UWB MB-OFDM) system. The proposed IFO estimator uses frequency-domain spreaded data symbol which is provided in the MB-OFDM system. To demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed IFO estimator, comparisons are made with conventional estimators via computer simulation.
