Abstract

The orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) system introduced here, termed interference suppressing OFDM (IS-OFDM), has the capabilities of suppressing narrowband interference in wideband wireless applications. The IS-OFDM encodes each transmitted symbol in all frequency bins. Each frequency bin then "contains" all transmitted symbols which are distinguished and separated from each other by orthogonal Hadamard sequences. The IS-OFDM can provide a point-to-point wireless link without spreading the incoming data rate. In addition, the IS-OFDM has all the advantages of the ordinary OFDM, which is shown to be a special case of the IS-OFDM. We present the IS-OFDM system design and evaluate its performance in the presence of narrowband interference and AWGN channel
