      Hi All,
      we can calculate the subcarrier frequencies. The subcarrier frequencies are integer multiples of 1/Tsymbol, where
      Tsymbol is the duration of an OFDM symbol.
      The pdf uploaded here is that of OFDM modulator, In this file i am unable to understand why the subcarrier frequencies are 1.25 ghz, 2.50 ghz, 3.75 ghz. I request you all to please explain how i will get duration of OFDM symbol.

      Hi Ranjeet, the subcarrier frequencies are as you have stated above because the frequency spacing between two consecutive subcarriers is 1.25 GHz. Since in OFDM the subcarriers are numbered like 1,2,3,…. Now if we multiply each of them by frequency gap, we get 1.25 ghz, 2.50ghz,…

      HELLO RANJEET
      Well i find the comment posted by gokul boro very useful in this regard. If you see the the frequency spacing between two consecutive subcarriers is 1.25 GHz and he’s right that the subcarriers are numbered like 1,2..so on . By multiplying the each of them by frequency gap, we get 1.25 GHZ 2.50 GHz respectively. I feel this should be enough for you to understand.
      Thanks and regards

      Hi Ranjeet

      I completely agree with both Fayiqa Naqshbandi and Gokul Boro.The frequency spacing between two consecutive subcarriers is 1.25 GHz and the subcarriers are numbered like 1,2..so on . By multiplying each of them by frequency gap, we get 1.25 GHZ 2.50 GHz respectively. Hope this helps.

      Thanks and regards

      Hi Ranjeet,

      I agree with previous statements from Fayiqa Naqshbandi, Gokul Boro, and SAHIL SINGH. but first you need to know how to calculate the frequency spacing, then the subcarrier frequency will be as mention before

      frequency spacing (dalta F)= Bit rate/(log2(M)*Nsc)

      where the M is the M-array of the modulation, and Nsc is the number of subcarriers

      hopefully this help you.

      Kind regards
      Mohamed

      Thank you for your considerable response,
      Earlier i was unable to understand properly the topic being discussed.
      I think the answer will be as:
      possible
      For examples if the global bit rate is 40Gbit/ and a QPSK modulation (2 bits per symbol), the symbol rate will
      be 20Gsym/s. In both cases there are a total of 128 sub-carriers available such that:
      OFDM symbol period = Symbol period * 128 = 128/(Symbol rate) = 2 * 128 /Global bit
      rate.

        Hi Ranjeet,

        Your example is correct, and it is the same as my explanation. because

        OFDM symbol period= 1/frequency spacing (dalta F).

        so if you take frequency spacing (dalta F)= Bit rate/(log2(M)*Nsc), then

        OFDM symbol period= (log2(M)*Nsc)/Bit rate, as per your example

        OFDM symbol period= (2*128)/40Gbps

        Kind regards
        Mohamed

      Hi Mohammad Ben,
      acoording to you, the frequency spacing, then the subcarrier frequency will be as mention before
      frequency spacing (dalta F)= Bit rate/(log2(M)*Nsc) where the M is the M-array of the modulation, and Nsc is the number of subcarriers
      for bit rate of 10 gbps and no. of subcarriers = 4, and M = 4, we will get delta F = 10ghz /[(log2{4})*4] = 1.25 ghz;
      You really make me understand, it may also be another explanation.
      Thank you.

      Thanks to everyone for participating in this discussion. It was indeed a useful discussion for me.
      I want to know if there is any formula for calculation of OFDM bandwidth after OFDM block (I & Q separately) as well as One after RF-upconversion.

      Hi Ranjeet,
      I think the answer will be as possible
      The subcarrier frequencies are integer multiples of 1/Tsymbol, where Tsymbol is the duration of an OFDM symbol.
      And in OFDM the component allows the introduction of a cyclic extension of the symbol transmitted
      or a guard time with zero transmission. The parameter Number of prefix points will
      define how many points will be used in the guard period.
      For examples if the global bit rate is 40Gbit/ and a QPSK modulation (2 bits per symbol), the symbol rate will
      be 20Gsym/s. In both cases there are a total of 128 sub-carriers available such that:
      OFDM symbol period = Symbol period * 128 = 128/(Symbol rate) = 2 * 128 /Global bit
      rate.

      Thanks,
