Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing

1. Consider an OFDM system with 1024 subcarriers. The ISI channel is given by the
delay taps [ h ( 0 ) , h ( 1 ) ], with each tap a unity gain i.i.d. Rayleigh fading channel
coefficient. The worst case delay spread of the channel is T d=16 μs . Answer the
questions below
a. With a cyclic prefix duration equal to the worst-case delay spread, the
system has a useful bit rate of 64 Mbps for QPSK transmission. What is
the bandwidth of the system?
b. What is the loss in spectral efficiency for this system for a cyclic prefix of
duration 8 μs?
c. Consider the channel coefficients H ( 0 ) and H ( 512 ) at the 0 th and 512th
subcarriers respectively. What is their joint distribution?
2. Consider the OFDM system described in class the with vector of channel
T
coefficients h=[ h ( 0 ) h ( 1 ) … h ( L−1 ) ] . However, instead of zero-mean i.i.d.
taps, consider independent complex Gaussian channel delay taps h ( l ) with zero
mean and variance 6 l dB. Derive the average BER for this scenario with BPSK
modulated symbols of power P and noise power σ 2.
3. Consider a single antenna OFDM system with channel taps h ( 0 ) , h ( 1 ) , … ,h ( L−1 ),
T
with L ≪ N . Let output vector y= [ y ( 0 ) … y ( N −1 ) ] and sample vector
T
x=[ x ( 0 ) … x ( N −1 ) ] . Describe the input-output channel model as
y=H x +n
H
a. Write the matrix in terms of the channel taps.
b. What is the unique property of the matrix H ?
c. What are the properties of the eigenvalue decomposition of H ?
4. Consider a r receive antenna OFDM system and the repetition code for M
blocks, K subcarriers out of total N subcarriers, in which the symbol loaded on
subcarrier k in block m is X ( m , k )=u , where u is the QPSK symbol of power P.
The channel taps hi ( m ,l ) , 0 ≤ l≤ L−1, for antenna i in block m , are i.i.d. Rayleigh
fading with average power unity and noise samples are i.i.d. complex Gaussian
P
of variance N 0. Let SNR=ρ= . Answer the questions below.
No
λ
a. If the antenna spacing ≪ , blocks are NOT interleaved and subcarriers

are far apart, derive the approximate average BER, and resulting diversity
order.
λ
b. If the antenna spacing ≫ , blocks are interleaved and subcarriers are
2
closely spaced, derive the approximate average BER, and resulting
diversity order.
5. Consider a SIMO-OFDM system with r antennas and Rayleigh fading channel
taps hi ( 0 ) , hi ( 1 ) , … , hi ( L−1 ) corresponding to antenna i . Consider QPSK symbols
of power P loaded on the subcarriers and N 0 to be the noise power of the i.i.d.
complex Gaussian noise samples. Derive the BER considering i.i.d. channel taps
of average gain unity.

Extra Problem (No need to submit):


6. Students (and many others) are often confused regarding the implications of
swapping the IFFT/ FFT blocks in OFDM. In this question we explore this.
Describe the output model for the modified OFDM system with FFT at transmitter
and IFFT at receiver. What is the relation between the subcarrier channel
coefficients of the two systems?
