Problems - OFDM

A 64 kbps voice frame is to be modulated using OFDM with 32 subcarriers over a symbol duration of 1000 μs. This will determine the null-to-null bandwidth, subcarrier bandwidth, total bandwidth, and number of bits. An OFDM system with 512 subcarriers, 5 MHz bandwidth, and 4 μs delay spread is analyzed to calculate symbol times, sample times, minimum cyclic prefix, total symbol time, efficiency loss, bit rate, and maximum mobile velocity.

Problems - OFDM

• A 64 kbps voice frame is to be modulated by OFDM scheme. The


duration of OFDM symbol is 1000 µs. Total of 32 subcarriers are to be
assigned to this frame. Compute the following:
• Null-to-null sub-channel bandwidth assuming square signal
• Sub-carrier bandwidth
• Total bandwidth occupied
• Number of bits in OFDM frame
Problem on OFDM
• Consider an OFDM system with total passband bandwidth B = 5 MHz
with N = 512 subcarriers. The channel has a maximum delay spread of
Td = 4 μs. Answer the questions that follow. (a) What is the symbol time
of a corresponding single-carrier system? (b) What is the sample time of
the OFDM system and the raw symbol time without the cyclic prefix? (c)
What is the minimum number of samples required in the cyclic prefix?
(d) If the length of the cyclic prefix is twice the required minimum
calculated above, what is the total OFDM symbol time? (e) What is the
loss in efficiency due to the overhead of the cyclic prefix? (f) If the
modulation employed is 16-QAM, what is the effective bit rate of the
above OFDM system? (g) At a carrier frequency of fc = 2.4 GHz, what is
the maximum possible velocity of a mobile for the system to be able to
function?
• Consider an OFDM system with total bandwidth 1
MHz. A single carrier system would have symbol time
1 us. The channel has a maximum delay spread of 5
us. Assume an OFDM system with 16-QAM
modulation applied to each subchannel. To reduce ISI
OFDM uses 128 subcarriers. Find the subchannel
bandwidth, overhead of cyclic prefix and data rate of
the system.
