Abstract

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is used to achieve multi-carrier signals and high- Speed data rate in free space. OFDM-based systems operate in the hostile multipath radio environment, which allows efficient sharing of limited resources. This research work was designed, developed and simulated an OFDM System using the basic blocks of Simulink in MATLAB/Simulink software, to support multi-carrier, high-speed data rates. This was achieved in backing of collection and review of high-quality research papers, which reported the latest research developments in OFDM communications networks, and its applications in future wireless systems. The research work significantly increases the speed of data rate signals, and many critical problems associated with the applications of OFDM technologies in future wireless systems are still looking for efficient solutions. This would overcome the global issues and challenges facing the limited bandwidth in wireless communication network.
