Why OFDM ??????Why OFDM ??????
Vast demand on Bandwidth Robustness against chromatic despersion, ISI and
ICI Simple equalizer(popular in Broadband system) Increased efficiency because carrier spacing is
reduced (orthogonal carriers overlap) Ease of Dynamic Channel Estimation and mitigation More resistant to fading Capability of Dynamic Bit and Power Loading

Available spectrum divided into many narrow bands
Data is divided into parallel data streams each transmitted on a separate band
Symbol period is much longer than for a serial system with the same total data rate
ISI affects at most one symbol and equalization is simplified
Each OFDM subcarrier has
sin(x)/x spectrum
.

OFDM-BasicOFDM-Basic
Each subcarrier has a different frequency
The subcarrier frequencies are chosen so that the signals are mathematically orthogonal over one ODFM symbol period
Modulation/Demodulation and Multiplexing/Demultiplexing is performed digitally by IFFT/FFT
Data is carried by varying the phase or amplitude of each subcarrier
QPSK, 4-QAM, 16-QAM, 64-QAM

Pulse ShapingPulse Shaping
generates a Nyquist response from an incoming electrical impulse
An ideal linear low-pass filter with a cut-off frequency or Nyquist frequency fN = SymbolRate/2.
An ideal low-pass filter has a sinc function impulse-response with equidistant zero-crossings at the sampling instants and hence no intersymbol interference (ISI).
The ideal filter is not realizable and a practical odd-symmetric extension is a raised cosine characteristic fitted to the ideal low-pass filter

RF-UPCONVERSION
Sine Generator can be used to generate a sine signal of arbitrary amplitude and initial phase, as adjusted with Amplitude and Phase
The frequency may be chosen from zero Hz (DC) up to a value lower than half the sample rate.
Real part of OFDM signal is multiply by sine function and imaginary part is multiplied with Cosine function.
Logical Add Channel provides the ability to “assign” logical channels stored in a global list to the signal

Optical LaserOptical Laser
The LaserDriver module is used for driving TLM lasers and modulators that require an arbitrary current or voltage swing. It is also useful for attenuating, multiplying and offsetting electrical signals.The LaserCW module models a DFB laser producing a continuous wave (CW) optical signal The module produces a time dependent field E(t) describing the radiation of a CW laser with the specified power, frequency, linewidth, and polarization.

Mach Zehnder ModulatorMach Zehnder Modulator
The optical power Pout at the output of MZM, depends on the phase difference ΔΦ between the two modulator branches
d(t) is the power transfer function and ΔΦ1(t) and ΔΦ2(t) are the phase changes in each branch caused by the applied modulation signal data(t). The phase changes take place due to the electro-optical effect.
the modulator will have a large extinction ratio, and a low chirp

Optical FilterOptical Filter
Optical filters are key components of optical communication systems. They are widely used for WDM signal demultiplexing, noise and distortion suppression, fiber dispersion compensating
Filter characteristics can be defined completely by the transfer function. Module and argument of the complex-valued transfer function H(ω) describe the magnitude and phase frequency responses of the filter on the input harmonic signals E(t) = exp[j(ωt+φ0)]. If the filter transfer function is known, then the filtered signal in the frequency domain can be found simply as a product of the input signal spectrum and the filter transfer function: Eout(ω) = H(ω)Ein(ω).

PhotodiodePhotodiode
A model of PIN and APD photodiodes. These can be simulated on base of predefined responsivity, avalanche multiplication, dark current and noise
Photodiode is the one of key components of optical receivers that converts light into electricity due to photoelectric effect. The output current is described by sum of photocurrent, dark current, shot and thermal noise

Signal Error Estmator estimates the Symbol Error Rate (SER) and Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) of an electrical mQAM signal, taking I and Q electrical signals as inputs. The module automatically performs clock recovery, amplitude and phase correction of the received constellation. It uses probability density function fitting, assuming a combination of Exponential and Gaussian statistics.
Signal Analyser is used used to display and analyze electrical and optical signals.
