OFDM Overview
• Divides high-speed serial information signal into multiple lower-speed sub-
signals:
– Transmits simultaneously at different frequencies in parallel.
• Modulation ( BPSK, PSK,QPSK,16QAM, …).
• Pilot sub-carriers used to prevent frequency and phase shift errors.
• Usage of cyclic prefix for lower multi-path distortion
• Controlled overlapping of bands in one channel
• Max spectral efficiency (Nyquist rate)
• Easy implementation using inverse FFTs
• Easy time-freq. Synchronization
• Modulate by switching between time and frequency domain
