NOTCH FILTERING FOR OFDM SYSTEM WITH NULL POSTFIX

摘要

Transmission systems and methods for reducing interference by wideband communication systems with narrowband communications systems are disclosed. In some embodiments an ultrawideband system employing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a null post-fix nulls symbols for sub-carriers at potentially interfering frequencies prior to transformation to the time domain and filters a time domain representation using a notch filter to further reduce spectral components at the potentially interfering frequencies. In further embodiments pre-emphasis is applied to a frequency domain representation of symbols to reduce ripples introduced by the notch filter.
