Hi, I am new about constant envelope OFDM. Anyone knows what is good and/or bad about this? Thanks -dvo _____________________________________ Do you know a company who employs DSP engineers? Is it already listed at http://dsprelated.com/employers.php ?

The "traditional" OFDM can have large peak-to-average ratio which makes the dynamic range larger than other modulation schemes. The bad is that the data rate will have to be lower compared to traditional OFDM. And complexity depends on the implementation. Julius

I doubt whether ofdm is optimal for such environment. Also would FM demod introduce any orthogonality problem for ofdm demod ? btw, if we do synch & equalization at FM demod, why should we do again for ofdm demod? furthermore it seems that the overall system gain is not as great as it sounds at a first glance. thanks. -dvo _____________________________________ Do you know a company who employs DSP engineers?

Which implementation are you talking about? Do you have a reference or something? Julius
