Simulink Model for OFDM Performance Analysis in Wireless Sensor Networks

Problem Definition

Problem Description: With the increasing demand for high data rates in wireless communication systems, it is important to analyze the performance of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. One of the key parameters for assessing the performance of an OFDM system is the Bit Error Rate (BER). However, designing and implementing an OFDM system for performance analysis can be complex and time-consuming. There is a need for a structured approach to design and analyze OFDM systems using a Simulink model in MATLAB. The model should include a transmitter, receiver, and analyzer block to assess the system performance in terms of BER, number of errors, and other relevant parameters.

By utilizing this Simulink model, researchers and engineers can efficiently evaluate the performance of OFDM systems and optimize their designs for future wireless communication applications.
