    OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is a digital multi-carrier transmission technique that distributes data over a large number of carriers that are spaced apart at precise frequencies to prevent interference. It has been used since 1966 and there are several types including C-OFDM used for digital audio/video broadcasting, MIMO-OFDM using multiple antennas, and Flash-OFDM for fast-hopped wideband communications. OFDM differs from other techniques like WDM through greater flexibility and from TDM through its use of carriers rather than time slots. Its applications include digital broadcasting, ADSL, wireless networking, and power-line technology.

    How OFDM works

    It distributes the data over a large number


    of carriers that are spaced apart at precise
    frequencies. This spacing provides the
    "orthogonality" in this technique which
    prevents the demodulators from seeing
    frequencies other than their own.
