Suppose we have developed a single-carrier system. Our system uses 16-QAM to transmit bits (error free) at a rate Rd=4Mbits.
i. What is the symbol rate of the single carrier system?
ii. Now, suppose we send our signal through a channel with impulse response h(t) to the right. What is ?bar() and rms for this channel?
iii. Is the channel frequency flat or frequency selective? (Hint: which channel corresponds to the signal observing intersymbol interference (ISI)?)
Now suppose that, after testing, we have found the single carrier system with equalization to be unsuitable due to noise amplification and complexity limitations. Instead, we must design an OFDM system to achieve the same data rate in the same bandwidth.
iv. What length of guard interval/CP is needed to mitigate the ISI in the channel?
Round your answer to the nearest 0.5s.
v. If we set the duration of TGI to 10% of the symbol interval Tb, what is TFFT?
vi. How long does it take to transmit a single ensemble OFDM symbol?
h(t)=i?hi(t-i)
