Dr. Bernard Sklar Discusses the ABCs of OFDM

On 18 March and 25 March 2021, Dr. Bernard Sklar gave a two-part talk to the Communications Society Chapter on “The ABCs of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)”.

The main benefit of OFDM is its ability to cope with severe multipath channel conditions without the need for complex equalization filters. How does it accomplish this? The short answer: by “dividing and conquering.” It partitions a high-data-rate signal into smaller low-data-rate signals so that the data can be sent over many low-rate sub-channels.

Dr. Sklar has graciously agreed to let us share the recordings and slides from his talks.
