A Study of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing

(OFDM) in Terrestrial Digital Television (DVB-T) and
Simulation in Matlab.
Dr. Ali Zeid*

(Received 29 / 10 / 2009. Accepted 4 / 5 / 2011)

∇ ABSTRACT ∇
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is becoming one of the chosen
modulation techniques for wireless communication. OFDM can provide large data rates
with sufficient robustness to radio channel impairments. The purpose of this report is to
simulate basic processing involved in the generation and reception of an OFDM signal in a
physical channel and to provide a description of each of the steps involved. For this
purpose, we shell use, as one example, one of the proposed OFDM signals of the digital
video broadcasting (DVB) standard for European terrestrial DVB (DVB-T).

Key Words: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), Digital Video

Broadcasting (DVB), Terrestrial DVB (DVB-T), Fast Fourier Transferring (FFT)
