• Principle of OFDM• OFDM Implementation and System Model• Advantages and Disadvantages• OFDM in Practice• Summary
Advantages of OFDM
• Solves the multipath-propagation problem– Simple equalization at receiver
• Computationally efficient– For broadband systems more efficient than SC
• Supports several multiple access schemes– TDMA, FDMA, MC-CDMA, etc.
• Supports various modulation schemes– Adaptability to SNR of sub-carriers is possible
• Elegant framework for MIMO-systems– Any interference among symbols is removed

OFDM Technology
Problems of OFDM (Research Topics)
• Synchronization issues:– Time synchronization
• Find start of symbols
– Frequency synchr.• Find sub-carrier positions
• Non-constant power envelope– Linear amplifiers needed
• Channel estimation:
– To retrieve data
– Channel is time-variant
