Abstract:
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is becoming the chosen modulation technique for wireless communications. OFDM can provide large data rates with sufficient robustness to radio channel impairments. Many research centers in the world have specialized teams working in the optimization of OFDM for countless applications. Here, at the Georgia Institute of Technology, one of such teams is in Dr. M. A. Ingram’s Smart Antenna Research Laboratory (SARL), a part of the Georgia Center for Advanced Telecommunications Technology (GCATT).
The purpose of this report is to provide Matlab® code to simulate the basic processing involved in the
generation and reception of an OFDM signal in a physical channel and to provide a description of each of the steps involved. For this purpose, we shall use, as an example, one of the proposed OFDM signals of the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard for the European terrestrial digital television (DTV) service.

Conclusion:
We can find many advantages in OFDM, but there are still many complex problems to solve, and the people of the research team at the SARL are working in some of these problems. It is the purpose of this project to provide a basic simulation tool for them to use as a starting point in their projects. We hope that by using the specifications of a working system, the DBV-T, as an example, we are able to provide a much better explanation of the fundamentals of OFDM. References:
