Understanding an OFDM transmission
Sunday 24th, February 2008
Let us try to understand simulation of a typical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission defined per IEEE 802.11a specification.

Orthogonal pulses
In a previous post (here ), we have understood that the minimum frequency separation for two sinusoidals with arbitrary phases to be orthogonal is , where is the symbol period.

In Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, multiple sinusoidals with frequency separation is used. The sinusoidals used in OFDM can be defined as (Refer Sec6.4.2 in [DIG-COMM-BARRY-LEE-MESSERSCHMITT]:

, where

correspond to the frequency of the sinusoidal and

is a rectangular window over .
