The invention discloses a
signal processing method applied to an optical non-Hermitian symmetric OFDM
receiver, and the method comprises the following steps: after timing synchronization is finished, directly carrying out real number FFT operation on a received
signal without recovering a corresponding complex
signal again, so the calculation complexity is reduced; adopting a single training sequence, on the basis of a traditional LS channel
estimation method, carrying out the
subcarrier pairing average
processing on the basis that preliminary channel
estimation on all data subcarriers is obtained, so the
system noise interference is restrained, and the accuracy of channel
estimation is improved; and finally, carrying out channel
equalization processing on the received data by utilizing the channel estimation after the
pairing and averaging, and reconstructing a received
QAM symbol. According to the non-Hermitian symmetric
orthogonal frequency division multiplexing receiver, the hardware implementation complexity of the non-Hermitian symmetric
orthogonal frequency division multiplexing receiver can be reduced by replacing the traditional complex FFT
algorithm with the real FFT
algorithm, and in addition, the accuracy of channel estimation can be improved by using the channel estimation
algorithm based on
subcarrier pairing average, so the performance of the receiver is improved.
