Due to its good orthogonality, slantlet transform (SLT) is used in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems to reduce intersymbol interference (ISI) and intercarrier interference (ICI). This eliminates the need for cyclic prefix (CP) and increases the spectral efficiency of the design. Finite Radon transform (FRAT) mapper has the ability to increase orthogonality of subcarriers, is nonsensitive to channel parameters variations, and has a small constellation energy compared with conventional fast-Fourier-transform- (FFT-) based OFDM. It is also able to work as a good interleaver, which significantly reduces the bit error rate (BER). In this paper both FRAT mapping technique and SLT modulator are implemented in a new design of an OFDM system. The new structure was tested and compared with conventional FFT-based OFDM, Radon transform-based OFDM, and SLT-based OFDM for additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, flat fading channel (FFC), and multipath selective fading channel (SFC). Simulation tests were generated for different channel parameters values. The obtained results showed that the proposed system has increased the spectral efficiency, reduced ISI and ICI, and improved BER performance compared with other systems.

Synchronization is very important to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Taking aim at the problem that the timing inaccuracy of the S&C method and the indistinct peak of the timing metric produced by Park method under the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and fading channel, a new symbol synchronization algorithm based on the training symbol is proposed in this paper. The new algorithm exploits the training symbol proposed by S&C to correlate the received signal with the known training symbol again at the receiving end to identify the start point of the OFDM symbol. The result of the simulation shows that the proposed method’s timing metric is of the impulse-shaped peak under the condition of the lower SNR and multipath fading channel, and has smaller timing errors compared with the conventional method in terms of mean-square error (MSE) of the timing estimator.
