Queries Reg -OFDM transceiver Implementation

Started by Ammankumar October 22, 2008
Hi,


   I'm working in OFDM transceiver implementation in FPGA. I have
following doubts. Kindly clarify .

1) How to determine number of points in IFFT with respect to bandwidth?

2) For given 1 MHz Bandwidth , what is the maximum amount of bandwidth
that can be allowed for not having ISI and cross symbol interference.

3)How Receiver will take care of Doppler shift?

Thanks

The bandwidth depends on the sample rate (assuming all subcarriers are used). You can have as many points in the IFFT as you want - it simply increases the length of an OFDM symbol at a given sample rate.

Your questions does not really make sense. Complete elimination of ISI and CSI relies on having an adequately long cyclic prefix (guard interval), correct sample timing, correct shaping filters, no doppler (see below), etc - so that the symbols do not interfere despite the dispersive channel, and so the subcarriers within each symbol retain their orthogonality. It has nothing to do with the bandwidth as such.

This is quite a serious problem for OFDM - there are various methods in the literature which I suggest you research. -T
