Serving the Needs of AD Applications Using OFDM/OFDMA

Application Notes

This application note is for Aerospace and Defense (A/D) engineers considering or developing systems using OFDM or OFDMA. Understanding the complexities of OFDM and OFDMA can be challenging, particularly if one has not previously worked with commercial wireless standards. The intent of this application note is to provide a brief introduction to OFDM and OFDMA, with an eye toward the special considerations and environments for A/D applications. The concepts presented in this application note will serve as an initial basis to further understand commercial standards-based OFDM and OFDMA such as LTE using additional reference provided at the end of this application note.
