CMPEN 462 Mini-Project #2: Basic OFDM Receiver

This project, once again, is designed to help you get a better understanding of some of the
theory we have been covering in class by having you build a part of the OFDM receive chain as
would be used in a wireless communication device. We can then build on this for the final
projects and ultimately get to the point where you can explore security aspects of wireless
systems at various layers of the protocol stack.
You will be building pieces of the OFDM receiver (LTE in this case) we covered in class in SP6 & 7
(particularly slides 43 and 44 of SP6, and slides 6 and 7 of SP7). The only piece you will not be
constructing is the downconverter (that is the section of the receiver from the antenna, the
modulator (mixer), and ADC block in Figure 4.3 or equivalently the “Analog[ue] receiver“ block
in the second figure below.
