It looks like Signal_Power is per OFDM carrier and per OFDM symbol. In that case, Energy_per_bit = (Signal_Power*Number_Subcarriers)*1/ (OFDM_Symbol_Duration*Number_Subcarriers*2) You have a typo above in the Noisy_Signal formula, but I think you mean: Noisy_Signal=Noiseless_Signal_in_Frequency+sqrt(NoiseVariance/2)*(randn ()+j*randn()) where NoiseVariance=N0*Signal_Bandwidth Otherwise, your formulae are correct. Thanks, Dilip.

Hello

I just want to know if the computations I do to know the relation
Energy_per_Bit/No are correct in the next situation: I add white noise
after performing the FFT in a OFDM receiver as shown next:

Signal_Power=var(Noiseless_Signal_in_Frequency);
VarianceNoise=SNR/Signal_Power;
Noisy_Signal=Noiseless_Signal_in_Frequency+sqrt()*(randn()+1i*randn())...;

Is the Energy_per_Bit/No relation computed as:

Energy_bit=(Signal_Power/Number_Subcarriers)*1/(OFDM_Symbol_Duration*Number_Subcarriers)*1/log2(4)
(QPSK)

No=NoiseVariance/Signal_Bandwidth
