Features: This book primarily discusses broadband communication technologies using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and their applications in WLANs. The specific content includes the development background and an overview of OFDM WLANs; common synchronization algorithms used in OFDM networks, particularly timing synchronization algorithms, including packet detection, code timing recovery, and sampling clock tracking; modulation and coding techniques used in OFDM WLANs, including Phase Shift Keying (PSK), Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), block codes, and convolutional codes; several common transmit and receive diversity schemes in OFDM environments and their impact on performance; system distortion issues in OFDM systems caused by RF nonlinearity and related compensation measures; the MAC protocols of IEEE 802.11 networks and HiperLAN/2 networks; as well as FPGA-based rapid prototyping design for WLANs, etc. This book is suitable for engineering technicians developing OFDM wireless local area network systems, as well as senior undergraduate and graduate students.
