OFDM Symbols and Subcarriers Explained

This article explains how OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols and subcarriers work. It covers modulation, mapping symbols to subcarriers, subcarrier frequency spacing, IFFT synthesis, cyclic prefix, and transmission. Step 1: Modulation First, modulate the input bitstream. For example, with 16-QAM , each group of 4 bits maps to one QAM symbol. Suppose we generate a sequence of QAM symbols: s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, …, s63 Step 2: Mapping Symbols to Subcarriers Assume N sub = 8 subcarriers. Each OFDM symbol in the frequency domain contains 8 QAM symbols (one per subcarrier): Mapping (example) OFDM symbol 1 → s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7 OFDM symbol 2 → s8, s9, s10, s11, s12, s13, s14, s15 … OFDM sym...

DFTs-OFDM vs OFDM: Why DFT-Spread OFDM Reduces PAPR Effectively (with MATLAB Code)

Understanding PAPR in DFT-spread OFDM vs. Standard OFDM In modern wireless communications like 4G LTE and 5G NR, managing the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is critical for hardware efficiency. While OFDM is the gold standard for high-speed data, its high PAPR poses significant challenges for mobile devices. This is where DFTs-OFDM (also known as SC-FDMA) comes in. DFT-spread OFDM (DFTs-OFDM) has lower Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) because it "spreads" the data in the frequency domain before applying IFFT, making the time-domain signal behave more like a single-carrier signal rather than a multi-carrier one like OFDM. Deeper Explanation: Aspect OFDM DFTs-OFDM Signal Type Multi-carrier Single-carrier-like Process IFFT of QAM directly QAM → DFT → IFFT PAPR Level High (due to many...

Constellation Diagrams of ASK, PSK, and FSK (with MATLAB Code + Simulator)

Constellation Diagrams: ASK, FSK, and PSK Comprehensive guide to signal space representation, including interactive simulators and MATLAB implementations. 📘 Overview 🧮 Simulator ⚖️ Theory 📈 Q-function 📚 Resources BASK Modulation Transmits one of two signals: 0 or $\sqrt{E_b}$, representing binary 0 and 1. Simple but sensitive to noise. BFSK Modulation Transmits one of two signals: $\sqrt{E_b}$ on the Y-axis or $\sqrt{E_b}$ on the X-axis. These are orthogonal signals. BPSK Modulation Transmits $+\sqrt{E_b}$ or $-\sqrt{E_b}$ (antipodal signaling). Most efficient binary scheme. ...

Calculation of SNR from FFT bins in MATLAB

📘 Overview 💻 FFT Bin Method 💻 Kaiser Window 📚 Further Reading SNR Estimation Overview In digital signal processing, estimating the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) accurately is crucial. Below, we demonstrate how to calculate SNR from periodogram and FFT bins using the Kaiser Window . The beta (β) parameter is the key—it allows you to control the trade-off between main-lobe width and side-lobe levels for precise spectral analysis. 1 Define Sampling rate and Time vector 2 Compute FFT and Periodogram PSD 3 Identify Signal Bin and Frequency resolution 4 Segment Signal Power from Noise floor 5 Logarithmic calculation of SNR in dB Method 1: Estimation from FFT Bins This approach uses a Hamming window to estimate SNR directly from the spectral bins.
