Abstract

In this paper, we analyzed the performance of OFDM system based on IEEE 802.11a specification. First, we modeled the transmitter and receiver of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system. Then, we analyzed the performance of OFDM system through simulation over the JTC (Joint Technical Committee) realistic channel model. In addition we carried out the performance by using pilot training symbol, which is one of the channel estimation methods, over the same channel environments.
