Performance of the OFDM technique in a multipath channel.
Currently, OFDM orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technique is widely used in communication systems. As WiFi is based on the standard LEEE 802.11 standard, WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) based on the standard IEEE 802.10, 4G-LTE (Long Term Evolution) and the SG. This success is the consequence of the number of preliminaries offered by the OFDM,
an efficient implementation using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)
robustness to the effects of multiple paths by using a cyclic prefex (CP)
a spectral efficiency loop allowing the recovery between the spectra of the different sub-carriers.
The objective of this project is to study the OFDM modulation, the impact of the channel selectivity on the performances of this technique.
A conventional transmission system having a carrier frequency F characterized by an emitting stage, a propagation channel block and a receiving stage 1 is considered.
OFDM transmitter:.
Answer the questions:
- Identify the necessary blocks for the synthesis of an OFDM signal from a binary whose bit rate and fixed to Db consider that the binary equivalence first undergoes a transcoding in M-QAM ??
- Give the link between the useful life OFDM symbol (Tu) the bit rate (Db) Of the number of bits per symbol of the elementary in Modulation n = log, M and number of subcarriers N??
- Express the width of a sub carrier del f in Function of (Tu)- justify why this relation In sampling period Te,??
