SIMULATION RESULTS. Perfomance charachteristics were obtained for the simulated OFDM system.

Conclusion. 1. OFDM communication system exhibits better Pe Vs SNR curves in case of Non-Fading channel as compared to the Fading channel. 2. As the value of the SNR is increased the value of Pe gradually decreases. 3. Perfomance charachteristics of simulated OFDM communication system are consistent with the performance charachteristics of the general OFDM communication system.
