Questions tagged [ofdm]
OFDM stands for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing. It is a communications transmission technique that breaks the carrier into multiple sub-carriers (hence, the multiplexing in frequency).

Symbol-level frequency-selective channel model representation (in OFDM)
The general symbol-level representation for a frequency-selective channel is:
$$
y[k] = \sum_{l=0}^{L-1} s[k-l]h_{l} + z[k]
$$
where \$s[k-l]\$ is transmitted symbols, \$z[k]\$ is noise, \$L\$ is the ...

Alternative to "Header/Payload Demux" block in GNU Radio for OFDM frames with a fixed length
I'm fairly new to GNU Radio and was looking for a way to communicate using OFDM without using packet headers. I am trying to implement a simple version of OFDM with fixed length frames. I have ...

Can I reconstruct the channel impulse response from OFDM least square channel estimation?
I'm working on a successive interference cancellation (SIC) project for an OFDM system.
I used pilots and least square channel estimation to estimate the channel frequency response (CFR.) It works ...

What is the relation between symbol duration and subcarrier frequency spacing in OFDM?
What is the exact relation between symbol duration and frequency spacing?
You may know in WiFi6, about 11ax band, there are more sub-carriers compared to WiFi5 because of using shorter frequency ...

Why the does channel capacity not increase as the number of subcarriers increases?
We usually consider multi-carrier (interchangeably multi-channel) communications.
By using the multi-carrier system, instead of one-broadband system, we can obtain many advantages, for example, able ...

MU-MIMO - do all antennas stream in different frequencies?
I have few questions on how MU-MIMO in WiFi works.
Do all antennas stream in different frequencies or stream in same channel but different sub carriers(OFDMA?)
Do MIMO antennas always work in OFDM ...

How to calculate subcarriers bandwidth and cyclic prefix length in an OFDM using the IFFT
I'm trying to understand how OFDM works thanks also to the Simulink OFDM block.
Now, I have understood that the OFDM modulation "convert" a faster bit rate using a certain bandwidth into a ...

How are the neat sinc function shaped carriers produced in OFDM?
I am learning about OFDM and QAM.
Every explanation I have read illustrates how the separate carriers are sinc functions that are arranged to overlap in a nice orthogonal way so as to cancel out ...

In actual OFDM trasmitter, is the stepwise waveform after IFFT put on the carrier as it is?
I simulated OFDM on MATLAB,though,the spectrum of it is not white(flat shape).
Why?
IFFT circuit of actual transmitter uses higher IFFT order than the count of subcarriers?
P.S.
I simulated with the ...

Differences between OFDM, OFDMA and SC-FDMA?
I understand that -
multiple user scenarios lead to OFDMA
in SD-FDMA at any point of time, all subcarriers carry the same symbol.
What I want is to understand on what exactly differentiates them.
