Abstract

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has become very popular for its advantages. The researches are till going on for the development of OFDM. In this paper we have described a new simulator that can perform the BER analysis using OFDM technology and generate respective plots for bit errors vs signal energy (Eb/No) for several modulation schemes & different noise effects in three types of channels (namely AWGN, Rayleigh and Rician).
