A combination of adaptive coding <strong>and</strong> modulation (the first approach) withpower adjustment per <strong>OFDM</strong> symbol is usually adopted [20].4.7 RF IssuesA simplified <strong>OFDM</strong> transmitter front-end is illustrated in Figure 4-54. The transmittercomprises an I/Q generator with a local oscillator with carrier frequency f c ,low-passfilters, a mixer, channel pass-b<strong>and</strong> filters, <strong>and</strong> a power amplifier. After power amplification<strong>and</strong> filtering, the RF analogue signal is submitted to the transmit antenna. The receiverfront-end comprises similar components.Especially in cellular environments, due to employing low gain antennas, i.e. nondirectiveantennas, high power amplifiers are needed to guarantee a given coverage <strong>and</strong>N c -PointIDFT(complexdomain)D/AILocaloscillatorf cFilter(low pass)cos(.)sin(.)+Filter(pass b<strong>and</strong>)HighpoweramplifierFilter(pass b<strong>and</strong>)D/AQFilter(low pass)Figure 4-54Simplified <strong>OFDM</strong> transmitter front-end
