How OFDM is implemented?

Simple Analog OFDM system Implementation Each subcarrier transmits one bit of information (N bits total) as indicated by its presence or absence in the output spectrum . The frequency of each subcarrier is selected to form an orthogonal signal set. These frequencies are also known at the receiver for signal recovery.

Why OFDM is used in LTE?

Using multiple carriers, each carrying a low data rate, OFDM is ideal for high speed data transmission because it provides resilience against narrow band fading that occurs as a result of reflections and the general propagation properties at these frequencies .

Does 5G use SC FDMA?

Unlike LTE, 5G NR also supports CP-OFDM in the uplink direction. But LTE’s discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM) uplink scheme, better known as single carrier frequency division multiplex (SC-FDMA), is still a valid access scheme and support is mandatory for any 5G terminal.

Is OFDM a modulation?

OFDM in its primary form is considered as a digital modulation technique , and not a multi-user channel access method, since it is used for transferring one bit stream over one communication channel using one sequence of OFDM symbols.
