What is OFDM used for?

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is another widely used modulation method used to achieve high data rates and spectral efficiency . It is known as a multicarrier modulation method as many carriers are used instead of just one.

Why OFDM is used in 4G?

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 .

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.
