OFDM has the advantages of spectral efficiency and inherent immunity to multipath 
interference.  This modulator/demodulator is based on the IEEE802.16-2009 standard for 
WirelessMAN-OFDM.  This standard utilizes a 256 FFT with forward error correction 
consisting of convolutional encoding and Reed Solomon block coding  The standard 
supports burst mode time division multiplexing (TDM) as well as non-burst mode frequency 
division multiplexing (FDM)..
The standard supports occupied bandwidth ranging from 1.5 MHz to 28 MHz.  A wide range  
of data rates are supported, depending upon bandwidth, TDM or FDM mode, length of cyclic 
prefix, forward error correction mode and modulation mode which
can be BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM or  64QAM
The core logic is designed to interface with a 32 bit processor bus.  In a full system, 
compliant with 802.16-2009, the processor implements most of the media access layer.  The 
evaluation boards do not contain a processor and provide an inflexible demonstration of 
specific modes of the core logic.
This logic is ideally suited to implement a non-standard communication system designed to 
meet a specific need which is suitable to an OFDM solution..
