Detailed Documentation

When conducting detailed simulations of OFDM systems, we incorporate the following components: bit error rate (BER) calculation using Monte Carlo methods, comparative analysis of input and output signal spectra through FFT/IFFT operations, and constellation point distribution evaluation for different modulation schemes (QPSK, 16-QAM, etc.). Additionally, we investigate and analyze relevant system parameters including channel models (AWGN, multipath fading), modulation techniques, and error correction coding (convolutional codes, Reed-Solomon codes) to comprehensively assess system performance. The simulation typically involves MATLAB/Python implementation of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with cyclic prefix insertion, channel equalization, and synchronization algorithms.
