OFDM is a multi-carrier modulation technology and one of the key technologies of LTE. By dividing a single channel into multiple mutually orthogonal sub-channels, OFDM completes the transmission of a single high-speed signal into multiple simultaneous low-speed signals. The mutual interference between the various sub-channels is reduced as the respective signals are coherently demodulated and separated at the receiving end. At the same time, since the bandwidth of the sub-channel is greatly reduced with the decomposition of the original channel, the inter-symbol crosstalk is reduced as each sub-channel can be regarded as a flat fading. At the same time, channel equalization becomes much easier because the bandwidth of each subchannel is much smaller than the original channel bandwidth. The main advantages of OFDM technology are: <br>(1) strong anti-interference ability, data can be efficiently transmitted in a multipath environment and fading channel; <br>(2) joint coding between sub-carriers, strong anti-fading; <br>(3) The orthogonal modulation and demodulation operations on sub-channels are completed by Fourier transform, and the technology is mature; <br>(4) Compared with other multiplexing technologies, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technology is more compatible and can be used in multiple access modes Combine. <br>At the same time, OFDM also has some of its own shortcomings, mainly including: <br>(1) OFDM system is very sensitive to the frequency offset of carrier and the influence of phase noise, the tolerance to deviation of frequency offset is very low, and phase noise can also easily cause carrier The formation of inter-interference; <br>(2) The peak-to-average ratio of the OFDM system is relatively high. A peak-to-average ratio that is too high will increase the complexity of the analog-to-digital conversion process, and will also reduce the efficiency of the RF unit; <br>(3) The cost of the OFDM system is higher. Compared with the single carrier system, the OFDM system has much higher performance requirements on the linear scale of the amplifier, resulting in higher cost.
