OFDM

This course provides an in-depth understanding of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), a modulation technique widely used in modern communication systems, including Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, 5G, and digital broadcasting.

• Introduction to OFDM: Principles and Overview, Mathematical foundations of OFDM: Subcarriers, orthogonality, and Fourier transforms, Cyclic prefix and its role in mitigating inter-symbol interference (ISI),
• OFDM system components: Transmitter and receiver architecture,
• Modulation techniques in OFDM: QPSK, QAM, and PSK, Channel estimation and equalization in OFDM systems,
• Performance analysis: Spectral efficiency, bit error rate (BER), and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR),
• Advanced OFDM techniques: MIMO-OFDM, Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), Applications of OFDM in Wi-Fi 6, 5G, digital broadcasting, and satellite communication,
• Challenges in OFDM: Peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), synchronization, and implementation complexity,
