OFDM System Performance over AWGN Channel 2/6 Modulation of OFDM subcarrier is analogous to the modulation in conventional serial systems. The modulation schemes of the subcarriers are generally QAM or PSK in conjunction with both coherent and non-coherent detection. As the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) in the time domain channel corresponds to AWGN of the same average power in the frequency domain, an OFDM system performance in an AWGN channel is identical to that of a serial system. Analogously to a serial system, the bit error rate (BER) verses signal-to-noise rate (SNR) characteristics are determined by the modulation scheme used. It can be seen from the figures that the experimental BER performance of the OFDM system is in very good accordance with the theoretical BER curves of conventional serial systems in AWGN channels.
