TLDR
A digital modulation system using orthogonal frequency division and multiplexing (OFDM) is addressed, which presents the advantage of coping with echoes more easily than classical single-carrier modems, thanks to the insertion of a guard interval between two symbols.
Abstract
A digital modulation system using orthogonal frequency division and multiplexing (OFDM) is addressed in this paper. Such a system presents the advantage of coping with echoes more easily than classical single-carrier modems, thanks to the insertion of a guard interval between two symbols. The signal equalization is then achieved in the frequency domain. This OFDM modem is improved by using dual polarizations. In this configuration, it can convey a 70 Mbits/s (HDTV) bit stream in an 8 MHz UHF channel. Some experimental results relate field trials carried out in several countries with such equipment.
