This is something I raised a year ago or so. I have been learned that the very reason to use ofdm is that the "next" carrier is located on the "previous" and the "nextnext" NULL, i.e. there is a minimum "right there", and that given imperfect filtering, with the integer relation between carrier spacing and baud rate do 2) below. Net effect, still in MY head, is that you could either increase signalling to 75 baud, or squeeze carriers together. Now, signalling at 75 baud instead of 50, will burden us CPU-wise, since all maths done in 20 mS must now be done in 13.33 mS. I guess the answer probably
lies in 3).

One more very interested...

Well, at this point I'm still experimenting, and I'm really focused on providing the best possible HF modem for FreeDV. Of course, if I come up with something that can be used elsewhere, all the better. Most of the OFDM stuff has really complex synchronization and a lot of bits per symbol. I'm starting from the FDMDV philosophy where things are a lot simpler - for example, a single, stationary carrier for easy and fast time and frequency sync. I doubt my implementation will end up anywhere near as complex as the DRM stuff, for example.

The questions  I am trying to answer are:
1) Will the orthogonality of the OFDM carriers be degraded significantly by the HF channel, compared to FDM? 2) If not, can we take advantage of that spectrum 'between the carriers' that FDMDV is not using? 3) If we keep a symbol rate of 50Hz with a carrier spacing of 75Hz, this is equivalent to a 6.67ms guard band. Will having this guard band in time rather than spacing between carriers be more robust to multipath? These questions are all very interesting to me, even if the FDMDV modem turns out to be ideal.

    hello Frank,
    I am not a programmer bur very interested in a windows application
    for the OFDM modem, not necesarly Codec2 integrated.
    Just a OFDM modem for SW with an easy Gui in windows for data
    transmissions. Idealy I want be capable to run ip traffic through
    the modem.  Speed should be autobaud and 4800bs,
    3600bs,2400bs,1200bs,600bs,
    300bs. Do you have any material or perhaps something running?
    Thanks

        So, I've done some experimenting with an OFDM modem
        implementation in Octave.  I still think the idea has a lot of
        promise, so and I've decided it's time to try to build codec2
        and FreeDV.

        Codec2-dev was no big deal, as it has no dependancies.  I
        didn't have trouble getting the mingw/MSYS toolchain going.
         For FreeDV, I spent a lot of time bringing in each dependant
        package one at a time and trying to build or integrate them.
         I ended up getting surprised and stuck with ctb, since it
        seems to not want to build in the the mingw environment, due
        to slash conventions in the makefile. (even if it is ok on
        Linux).  Has anyone made this work on mingw?

        Now I've come to realize that maybe I should have started with
        cmake.  Will that make it all easier?  Does the cmake build
        work on mingw ok?

        This may be blasphemy, but when all is said and done, I am
        tempted to put together a set of project files for devstudio
        2010 and binaries for everything but codec2 and freedv.  I
        think this would make it a lot easier for developers on
        windows to get their feet wet without going through a long
        startup process.  Nothing kills incentive like having to spend
        a bunch of time building third party stuff...

        Thanks,
        Frank
