Abstract

A novel data-aided error vector magnitude (EVM) estimator for signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is derived. Previous SNR estimators are mainly based on the data symbols or the preamble symbols. However, most existing EVM estimators need the factually received symbols modulated and even coded again to recover the symbols in the receiver. To improve it, a good new estimator that utilizes Zadoff-Chu sequence as the preamble is recommended and adopted in this paper. Its performance is examined and compared with Maximum-Likelihood (ML) estimator by the measures of the normalized bias and the normalized mean square error. Numerical results are presented to show the visible advantages obtained by using this estimator.
