Summary:This work proposes an adaptive beamforming scheme applied to time domain, pre-FFT (Fast Fourier Transformation), Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. This scheme improves the performance and the capacity of OFDM systems, using a supervised adaptive algorithm, with frequency domain multiplexed pilots of the OFDM system as a reference. The simplicity of the proposed structure, as well as the method used to obtain reference signals for the adaptive beamforming, are essential aspects that distinguish this paper from other publications. Details on the operation of the proposed scheme, as well as the performance curves, are presented in this manuscript. The proposal investigated here allows a significant reduction in the guard interval of the OFDM system, thereby increasing its robustness or transmission capacity.
