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...

FM Bandwidth and FM Band Explained

FM radio uses the frequency band from 88 MHz to 108 MHz , which is a 20 MHz-wide spectrum . This is the range of carrier frequencies available to stations. 108 MHz − 88 MHz = 20 MHz However, a single FM station occupies only about 200 kHz . This is the bandwidth of the modulated FM signal. 1. Why One FM Station Needs ~200 kHz FM uses frequency modulation . The bandwidth depends on how far the carrier swings. Carson's Rule gives the approximate FM bandwidth: B = 2 ( Δf + f m ) ...

Overmodulation & Distortion in AM

Overmodulation in AM and How It Causes Distortion 1. AM Signal Equation s(t) = A c [1 + μ m(t)] cos(2Ï€ f c t) A c = carrier amplitude m(t) = normalized modulating signal (|m(t)| ≤ 1) μ = modulation index 2. Modulation Index μ = A m / A c - Normal AM: 0 < μ ≤ 1 → no distortion - Overmodulation: μ > 1 → distortion occurs 3. Envelope and Overmodulation A(t) = A c [1 + μ m(t)] - For undistorted AM: 1 + μ m(t) ≥ 0 at all times - If μ > 1: 1 + μ m(t) < 0 at negative peaks → carrier flips Example: Let m(t) = cos(2Ï€ f m t), A c = 1 V, μ = 1.2 Minimum envelope: A min = A c [1 - 1.2] = -0.2 V Negative amplitude → envelope crosses zero → 180° phase flip 4. Mathematical Consequence -A c cos(θ) = A c cos(θ + Ï€) This phase reversal is what causes distortion in the demodulated signal. 5. Instantaneous AM Signal s...

Constellation Diagram of FSK in Detail

📘 Overview 🧮 Simulator for constellation diagram of FSK 🧮 Theory 🧮 MATLAB Code 📚 Further Reading 📚 BER vs SNR from Constellation   Binary bits '0' and '1' can be mapped to 'j' and '1' to '1', respectively, for Baseband Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK) . Signals are in phase here. These bits can be mapped into baseband representation for a number of uses, including power spectral density (PSD) calculations. For passband BFSK transmission, we can modulate signal 'j' with a lower carrier frequency and signal '1' with a higher carrier frequency while transmitting over a wireless channel. Let's assume we are transmitting carrier signal fc1 for the transmission of binary bit '1' and carrier signal fc2 for the transmission of binary bit '0'.

MIMO Channel Matrix | Rank and Condition Number

MIMO / Massive MIMO MIMO Channel Matrix | Rank and Condition...   The channel matrix in wireless communication is a matrix that describes the impact of the channel on the transmitted signal. The channel matrix can be used to model the effects of the atmospheric or underwater environment on the signal, such as the absorption, reflection or scattering of the signal by surrounding objects. When addressing multi-antenna communication, the term "channel matrix" is used. Let's assume that only one TX and one RX are in communication and there's no surrounding object. Here, in our case, we can apply the proper threshold condition to a received signal and get the original transmitted signal at the RX side. However, in real-world situations, we see signal path blockage, reflections, etc.,  (NLOS paths [↗]) more frequently. The obstruction is typically caused by building walls, etc. Multi-antenna communication was introduced to address this issue. It makes diversity app...
