Abstract: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), because of its resistance to multipath fading, has attracted increasing interest in recent years as a suitable modulation scheme for commercial high-speed broadband wireless communication systems. OFDM can provide large data rates. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the Multi-Carrier Modulation (MCM) techniques that transmit signals through multiple carriers. These carriers (subcarriers) have different frequencies and they are orthogonal to each other. There are different parameters which alters the performance of OFDM system. This thesis analyzes OFDM system and the effect of cyclic prefix and length of cyclic prefix on OFDM system. Besides, compare the performance of the system with and without cyclic prefix and with different RSF(Repeated Symbol Fraction).BER performance of the OFDM system is carried out with emphasis on the cyclic prefix and RSF. The simulation results show how a tradeoff is needed between reduction in multi-path effects and Transmission efficiency.
Keywords: BER, RSF, ISI.
