Cyclic-Prefix-Free OFDM With Tail-Reuse Reconstruction for Distributed Acoustic Sensing
Ziang Chen, Zhiyang Xue, Zhongxing Tian, Zeyu Feng, Dongdong Zou, Yi Cai, et al.
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) enables frequency-domain reconstruction of the distributed Rayleigh backscatter channel in coherent distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), but an explicitly transmitted cyclic prefix (CP) lengthens the probing period and reduces the…
