Rayleigh fading channel in an OFDM Tx/RX

Started by saina lajevardi May 12, 2008
Hello,

I have already simulated and OFDM system over AWGN channel. Now, I need to apply flat fading and frequency selective fading with Rayleigh distribution as my channel effect.
I have tried it and my problem is that I do not know which kind of equalizer I should use in order to remove the effect of fading.

Anyone has some idea? I would really appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Saina
There are a number of channel estimation algorithms available. The easiest
way would be to use a pilot symbol for channel estimation, and a simple zero
forcing equalizer for equalization.

Frequency domain equalization works well with OFDM making things simpler.

Hope this helps.
