ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for detecting a guard interval length (type) of a transmission symbol among the structure of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system receiver, to ensure proper operation of a symbol start detector and a fast Fourier transform (FFT) window position controller, is provided. This apparatus includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for converting a received OFDM signal into digital complex samples, a symbol start position detector for detecting a symbol start position with reference to information on a guard interval length among the complex samples output by the ADC, a symbol start position difference detector for detecting the difference between the symbol start position detected by the symbol start position detector and a symbol start position delayed for a predetermined symbol time, a guard interval length detector for comparing the symbol start position difference detected by the symbol start position difference detector with a predetermined guard interval decision reference value and detecting the length of the guard interval, and an FFT window position controller for shifting the FFT window position using the guard interval length detected by the guard interval length detector and the symbol start information detected by the symbol start detector, to activate an FFT at the shifted FFT window position. The lengths of various guard intervals are automatically detected in the OFDM receiver, thus performing accurate FFT window recovery.
