Hello Everybody ,
I have question about OFDM
system architecture. Why does it block IFFT in the
transmiter and block FFT in the receiver? Can somebody
you please show me the formulas and give a quick
explanation?
Thank you very much - Lurce

Hi Lurce,
To the best of my knowledge, when
looking at a system level block diagram of an OFDM
transceiver, the IFFT is contained on the transmitter
side just before the mixer and the FFT block is
on the receiver side just after the mixer.
Really, there is a DAC and LPF (perhaps other
blocks) after the IFFT in the TX and there is probably
some type of AGC plus filters and an ADC after the
mixer on the RX side.
The names of these
blocks stand for Inverse Fast Fourier Transform
(IFFT) and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). They are
supposed to represent the signal processing which
is done to convert a time domain signal into a frequency
domain signal and back again (which is what must
be done to encode and decode the digital information
into an analog signal).
I'm not 100% sure
what they do, but I do know that they are part of
a DSP algorithm and to find out more information
you can visit a signal processing or modulation
theory book to get a little more information.
I hope this helps a little bit.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
