Analysis of performance of a TCM-OFDM multicarrier digital communication system in the radio-mobile channel

Abstract

The combination of the multicarrier orthogonal frequency division multiplex technique and a type of channel coding forms a radio broadcasting system which is very promising and very efficient in frequency-selective media. The first application of this technique using convolutional coding was developed in Europe. Combining trellis-coded modulation with multicarrier modulation, it is possible to double the spectral efficiency of the existing system without compromising the bandwidth. This work aims to analyse the performance of the TCM-OFDM digital radio broadcasting system by the bias of error probability.
