What is OFDM? OFDM
=Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
Many orthogonal sub-carriers are multiplexed in one symbol What is the orthogonal? How multiplexed? What is the merit of OFDM? What kinds of application?

OFDM vs. Multi carrier OFDM is multi carrier modulation OFDM sub-carrier spectrum is overlapping In FDMA, band-pass filter separates each
transmission In OFDM, each sub-carrier is separated by
DFT because carriers are orthogonal Condition of the orthogonality will be explained
later Each sub-carrier is modulated by PSK, QAM
Thousands of PSK/QAM symbol can be Thousands of PSK/QAM symbol can be simultaneously transmitted in one OFDM symbolsimultaneously transmitted in one OFDM symbol

Multi-path By adding GI, orthogonality can be maintained However, multi-path causes Amplitude and Phase
distortion for each sub-carrier The distortion has to be compensated by Equalizer

That’s all for introduction
Feature of OFDM1. High Frequency utilization by the square
spectrum shape2. Multi-path problem is solved by GI3. Multiple services in one OFDM by sharing
sub-carriers (3 services in ISDB-T)4. SFN5. Implementation was complicated but NOW
possible because of LSI technology progress
