Prerequisites & Notation

Before You Begin

This chapter builds on FFT/convolution (Chapter 7) and OFDM (Chapter 22).

  • FFT, correlation, and filtering (Chapter 7)(Review ch07)

    Self-check: Can you compute cross-correlation and matched filtering using FFT?

  • OFDM system structure (Chapter 22)(Review ch22)

    Self-check: Do you understand OFDM subcarrier structure and CP?
