Orthogonal issues after IFFT
|
|
|
| Hi,
I am a student doing my final year project, which is on OFDM wireless
communications. Currently, I'm using Matlab to construct the
transmitter.
I have some queries about orthogonal.
Assuming I have 2 subcarriers and I placed them in a matrix of 100 by
2. The 2 columns indicates the 2 subcarriers and I perform a IFFT on
it.
y = ifft(x);
The ifft function will return IDFT of each column of the matrix.
Are these 2 subcarries orthogonal now? because I read up that IFFT
not only produce complex outputs in frequency domain and
orthogonality.
Lastly, how to I test for othogonality in Matlab?
Thanks.
Edwin

Your posting indicates that you do not understand OFDM. Since it would take
too much effort to teach you here, I suggest that review your textbooks on
this subject and you will see how to do what you want. Hint: your IFFT
should only apply to ONE column.
