OFDM Versus Single Carrier With Cyclic Prefix: A System-Based Comparison for Binary Modulation

Overview In recent years, wireless indoor networks have received a lot of scientific and industrial attention. Most systems rely on the use of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) because of its capability to elegantly cope with multipath interference. However, to evaluate the complete system, one should not only consider the digital modem, but also take into account the influence of the front-end.

TI's 'turbo Wi-Fi' - still born?

In the 802.11g standards battle, PBCC eventually lost ground to OFDM, or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, as the modem of choice. A D-Link 802.11B+ access point costs $149 and a laptop modem card is $80, Morse said.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
