Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a special multi-carrier transmission technology. It utilizes digital signal processing (DSP) to perform inverse Fast Fourier transform (IFFT) and generates a set of orthogonal subcarriers for parallel transmission of low-rate digital signals, achieving the transmission of high-speed digital signals. It has the advantages of high spectral efficiency and anti-dispersion, and has broad applications in large-capacity and long-distance optical fiber communication systems and optical access networks. In this paper, the working principle, structure and application of OFDM in optical fiber communication systems are investigated. Then the problems which should be solved in the application of OFDM in optical communication systems are discussed. Finally, the development of OFDM system is prospected.
In the version of this article initially published, there was a spurious line blocking the arrow from the transcriptional repressor to the 26S proteasome drawn in the center panel of Fig. 4h. The line has now been removed from the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
