Abstract
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
(OFDM) technique has its own dominant effect on broadband
transmission systems. It has been an excellent waveform choice
for next generation wireless communication system such as
LTE/LTE-A system. However, the frequency spectrum behavior
of subcarrier signals in OFDM is not good enough, which is the
main source of problems for future development as the spectrum
allotted is limited. Filter Bank Multi-Carrier (FBMC) technique,
on the other hand, as a candidate waveform for 5G mobile
communications, is an elegant method that solves most of these
problems by pulse shaping the individual subcarrier by using a
filter bank. This paper, investigates the PHYDYAS prototype
filter response for both OFDM and FBMC systems.
