Performance Study Of Ofdm Over Fading Channels For Wireless Communications, Ahmed Alshammari Jan 2012

Performance Study Of Ofdm Over Fading Channels For Wireless Communications, Ahmed Alshammari

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a very efficient multicarrier technique. OFDM is used more and more in recent wideband digital communications. It has numerous advantages such as the ability to handle severe channel conditions, efficient spectral usage, reduced inter symbol interference (ISI), and high data rate. Therefore, it has been utilized in many wired and wireless communication systems like DSL, wireless networks and 4G mobile communications.

Studying the performance of OFDM over different channels is the main focus of this research. Channels' environments simulated in Matlab are additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and fading channels. Each channel affects the …
