However, the combination of many subcarriers enables data rates similar to conventional single-carrier modulation schemes within equivalent bandwidths. In FDM different streams of information are mapped onto separate parallel frequency channels. Each FDM channel is separated from the others by a frequency guard band to reduce interference between adjacent channels. A guard interval is added to each symbol to minimize the channel delay spread and intersymbol interference.
The following figure illustrates the main concepts of an OFDM signal and the inter-relationship between the frequency and time domains. In the frequency domain, multiple adjacent tones or subcarriers are each independently modulated with complex data. Then in the time domain, guard intervals are inserted between each of the symbols to prevent inter-symbol interference at the receiver caused by multi-path delay spread in the radio channel.
Multiple symbols can be concatenated to create the final OFDM burst signal. We will use a simple analog based implementation to show the basic principles of generating an OFDM signal. Each subcarrier transmits one bit of information N bits total as indicated by its presence or absence in the output spectrum. The frequency of each subcarrier is selected to form an orthogonal signal set. These frequencies are also known at the receiver for signal recovery.
Note that the output is updated at a periodic interval T that forms the symbol period. To maintain orthogonality, T must be the reciprocal of the subcarrier spacing. In the frequency domain, each transmitted subcarrier results in a sinc function spectrum with side lobes that produce overlapping spectra between subcarriers, see "OFDM Signal Frequency Spectra" figure below.
We can see that higher radix FFT algorithms reduces the number of both multiplications and additions and as such can give less complexity for OFDM calculations for larger FFT blocks [10,11]. This less complexity leads to more robust and effective multicarrier system design for OFDM.
It also assures optimum performance in terms of high speed data processing for communication systems using OFDM technique. VFFT algorithm surely can save a lot of computational power but it has been often effected by a slight degradation of 1dB bit error rate BER performance [8,12].
Overall, FFT algorithms provide the different. Table 1. Comparison of different fourier transforms. Table 2. Comparison of different FFT algorithms. Figure 2.

When you say "The Cyclic Prefix converts the linear convolution into a circular convolution". Allow me to ask this, I am still not very follow. Why we need circular conv, why the linear circular is NOT ok? I think both of they will be multiplication in frequency domain, right? In the infinite-time case, the convolution theorem states that linear convolution equals multiplication.
So, in order to be able to exploit the convolution theorem in finite-time case, you need to have circular convolution. Maybe, my answer here also helps: dsp. My question, since they are the same, why I still need "in order to be able to exploit the convolution theorem in finite-time case, I need to have circular convolution"??
Thank you again, Max. Note that I explained it in a simple way. In reality there are some more issues to care about. We have decided that we would be using OFDM for this purpose i. How can we achieve that? The IFFT of the virtual frequency domain sequence gives us a virtual time-domain sequence. Kenny Kenny 8 8 bronze badges. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.
