Abstract

In this paper we discuss the implementation of a Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) transceiver running over the Universal Software Radio Peripheral 2 (USRP2). SC-FDMA is the air interface which has been selected for the uplink in the latest Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard. In this paper we derive a AWGN channel model for SC-FDMA transmission, which is useful for benchmarking
experimental results. In our implementation, we deal with signal scaling, qualization and partial synchronization to realize SCFDMA transmission over a noisy channel at rates up to 5.184 Mbit/s. Experimental results on the Bit Error Rate (BER) versus Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) are presented and compared to theoretical and simulated performance.
