In this thesis, implementation of a MIMO-OFDM baseband receiver by TSMC 90nm process for indoor highthroughput wireless communication systems is presented. The receiver supports QPSK, 16QAM and 64-QAM constellation and spatial multiplexing up to four antennas. The system has three operation modes corresponding to different FFT sizes of 128, 256, and 512 points. At the receiver, three main functional blocks of synchronization, channel estimation and MIMO detection are integrated at the receiver. And 24 memories are used. For reducing hardware complexity, five memories are shared. We incorporate symbol timing detection and carrier frequency offset (CFO) acquisition modules in the time domain. The received signals first enter into the symbol timing detector and CFO estimator to acquire an adequate FFT window and an initial CFO estimate. After the signals are transformed to frequency domain by the FFT unit, the subsequent CFO and sampling clock offset (SCO) tracking mechanism is also designed in the frequency domain to compensate the residual CFO and SCO errors to prevent from their severe destruction of the system performance. The channel estimates are then derived from the long preamble and are subsequently processed by the one-time sorted QR decomposition unit. Thereafter, the pre-processed signals are sent to the K-best sphere decoder to retrieve the spatial multiplexed user data. Simulation results are provided to show the satisfying system performance. The design is implemented in TSMC 90nm CMOS technology. It has gate count of 1.034M and uses memories of 835 Kbits. Total consumption power is 335mW. From post-layout simulation results, the system can work at 160MHz sampling frequency, which is capable to offer 2.592 Gbps transmission rate.
