 Motivation

•  Signal over wireless channel

 y[n] = Hx[n]
•  Work only for narrow-band channels, but not for wide-band channels, e.g., 20
MHz for 802.11

Fc
 Multi-Carrier Modulation
● Originally MCM required the use of several channels that were
separated from each other by the use of steep sided filters of they were
close spaced.

● In this way, interference from the different channels could

be eliminated.
Basic Concept of Multi-Carrier Modulation

Wide-band Channel Multiple Narrow-band Channel

Multi-Carrier Modulation
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexer
(OFDM)

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing is a method of

encoding digital data on multiple carrier frequencies
which are orthogonal to each other
 OFDM
● With fast data transmissions, line noise and other interference frequently occurs.

● There will usually be much less interference when data is sent at a slow rate.

● The idea is to send many small pieces of data at the same time, which are later to be
combined into a single unit.

● In the case of OFDM, data is broken into many subcarrier streams (up to 52) and then
multiplexed into one individual data stream.
 OFDM
● OFDM uses processing power within the ● Closely spaced subcarriers overlap,
receiver and orthogonality between the Subcarrier nulls correspond to peaks of
carriers to ensure no interference was adjacent subcarriers for zero ICI
present.

 Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier (UFMC)

Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier is a operation of filtering group of

subband instead of filtering single carrier or whole band, which are
orthogonal to each other
