OFDM Receiver is as shown in Fig. f . At the receiver 1) Multi Path Distortion is eliminated : In single
side the signal is amplified, demodulated and then carrier system the data rate of the source was very
converted to digital form but the signal is in mixed high. While travelling in the channel the transmitted

h. Due to this the received symbol at the receiver gets
distorted by the previously transmitted symbol.

Since OFDM uses orthogonal concept it allows the 4G the upcoming generation in mobile
signal spectra to mix to other signal even then the communication uses IMT – ADVANCED standards
signal can be reconstructed at the receiver efficiently approved by ITU – R and supports speeds of upto
