Abstract

Accurate characterization of communication channel is required to design a reliable and spectrally efficient wireless communication. Channel characteristics of Local Multipoint Distribution System (LMDS) shows that it has multipath propagation. For optimum system design, intersymbol interference (ISI) due to multipaths must be removed. OFDM is an efficient multicarrier modulation scheme used to avoid ISI due to multipath propagation in radio communications. In this paper, we propose and analyze the performance of OFDM for LMDS over different measured channels. Simulation results show that the bit error rate (BER) performance of LMDS with OFDM is better than without OFDM along with forward error correction coding (FEC).
