Hi all.... I just simulated the Zero-Padding OFDM and Cyclic-Prefix OFDM system... I found some difference between their power spectrum density... In CP-OFDM, the in-band ripple is larger than ZP-OFDM... But in out-of-band, the ZP-OFDM is larger than CP-OFDM.... I just got the conclusion through simulation... How could i explain the phenomenon in physical or math. sense.... Anyone can tel...

Hi I am new to OFDM and wideband communication in general. I went through the tutorial on OFDM at www.complextoreal.com. I have understood the concept of orthogonality and how it works in OFDM, however I am not so clear about the use of pilots in OFDM. Can anyone guide me to some resources which explicitly explain what a OFDM pilot symbol is, with examples, and how it helps in frequency estimat...

Hi friends I have doubt in mind. I always read about OFDM frame where in each OFDM frame consist of 2 or 1000 or ...... OFDM symbols. Why OFDM signal is transmitted in frame format ? Why OFDM does not transmitted in each OFDM symbol ? Many thanks in advances. Regards, Wiwi

Hello All I am looking to implement an OFDM system in VHDL on a DVB-T system. I have designed a 16-QAM block with outputs of a 3 bit binary bus for I and Q. I know want to build the OFDM block. I am looking as how to convert I and Q into a complex number I+jQ so I can buffer that up to push through the IFFT. This willl then output an OFDM value for I(OFDM) and Q(OFDM). Can anyone offer ...

Dear sir / Madam, I am doing M.E in Communication system, i have gone through the concept and fundamentals of OFDM first time , but i could not understand the process of IFFT in OFDM modulation, why FFT is not taken at the first stage? if any kind personality explains the concepts behind the IIFT in OFDM, which will helpful for me to understand better. How can i get e-version of any OFDM text...

Hello. Could I have some help & discussion please? I built an OFDM simulator with IEEE 802.20 channel model. But, I'm not sure if my BER results are correct or not. Thus, I checked BER of OFDM in AWGN first. Then, I checked BER of OFDM in very very low bit rate. For example when a channel shows rms delay spread of 0.37usec, I tested with Rb = 1E4 bps. Then, I checked BER of OFDM with ...

Hi, What is the difference between DMT and OFDM. Why isn't OFDM used in the xDSL technologies? If I have to guess the difference, I think that OFDM has several carrier frequencies that are orthogonal. DMT I think uses carriers seperated by some space on the frequency spectrum. Kind Regards, Jaco

Hi, i'm trying to simulate waterfilling for single user ofdm in matlab. i can't seem to find any reference on this topic as most papers deal with multiuser or multiple access ofdm system. Papers which mentioned watefilling for single user ofdm stopped short at providing simply the formula and not the implementation. im new to waterfilling and ofdm and thus need some help. I understand that f...

Hi, I would like to understand more and more about OFDM and its applications for my work. I need to simulate it with Matlab. If possible, could you supply me matlab code which will be enable me to simulate OFDM ( that will be very helpful for understanding OFDM and its concept). Thx in advans, Karthik Balaguru

Hi All Can anyone please suggest me some good papers/books on OFDM and MIMO-OFDM. Of course, I did google it but the problem is that so much of stuff is out there that it is difficult to pick the right one. Thanks. Chintan

Hi there! I am working on PAPR measurement of OFDM signals connected to a RF amplifier.I created the OFDM signal from a signal studio. Then the signal is connected to RF amplifier and with the spectrum generators to see the input OFDM spectrum and output OFDM spectrum. The generated OFDM Spectrum from the Spectrum generator is stationary or it is changing for a particular input power of RF ...

Hello, I am trying to design an adaptive equalizer for an OFDM system which has an extremely low symbol rate. I have a question regarding this. The transmitter and the receiver are moving wrt each other. For what amount of relative motion between them in one OFDM symbol period (as a fraction of the carrier wavelength) can I assume that the channel is reasonably correlated across OFDM symbols...

Hello, I am pretty confused with some DFT/Sampling techniques and how these apply to OFDM. Fundamentally, if a (baseband) signal has a highest frequency component of f Hz, that signal needs to be sampled at 2f Hz for aliasing-free data reconstruction. My confusion begins with OFDM, which does the process in reverse. That is IDFT is performed first. So, in OFDM, the output of the IDFT blo...

Hi, I'm trying to visualize the sub-carriers in my ofdm model. What I do is I generate a BPSK OFDM symbol and after IFFT I plot the FFT of transmitter output. I only get one Sinc graph not the overlapping sub-channels. Could you please correct me to get a proper view of sub-carriers? Best regards Shahin

Hi, i'm an undergraduate student doing some project on Stochastic Processes and i have a few questions on OFDM. There are few things that i don't quite understand and they are mainly in Digital Signal Processing domain (that is not my field of expertise). I'm writing code in MATLAB for transmitting data using sound and use OFDM modulation. Mathematically the transmitted multicarrier ...

Hi All, I'm having trouble making an analog conversion of OFDM signal using DAC 904E from Burr Brown. The DAC works fine, I have set up a digital sine signal and when I looked at the osciloscope and spectrum analyzer it has 600mVpp and 0dBm power with good spurious performance in the baseband bandwidth that I want to use for OFDM (0-4MHz -- OFDM bandwith is 7MHz) with adequate sampling rate in ...

hi all , Recently , I have generated a OFDM signal , but meanwhile I have noticed that my Analytical & Computer Simulation of my SER are totally difference, Moreover , the Numbers of Errors in my signal also quite large, therefore i am wondering whether there are some Errors in my signal detection or the progress of generate OFDM signal. Actually I should generate channel estimation of OFDM sig...
