To calculate the system parameters of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems, you typically start by determining the bandwidth and subcarrier spacing, which are influenced by the number of subcarriers (N) and the total bandwidth (B). The subcarrier spacing can be calculated as Δf = B/N. Additionally, the symbol duration (T) is the inverse of the subcarrier spacing (T = 1/Δf), and the total duration of the OFDM symbol, including the cyclic prefix, is crucial for mitigating inter-symbol interference. Finally, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be assessed based on the modulation scheme and the channel conditions to optimize performance.
SISO-OFDM is an OFDM system with one transmit and one receive antenna.
Inter symbol interference (ISI) in OFDM systems can be minimized by using a cyclic prefix. This involves adding a copy of the end of each OFDM symbol to the beginning before transmission. The cyclic prefix helps to mitigate the effects of multipath fading and reduces ISI by allowing the receiver to separate the OFDM symbols with a guard interval.
Crest factor in Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) refers to the ratio of the peak power of a signal to its average power. It is a critical parameter because OFDM signals typically exhibit high peak-to-average power ratios (PAPR), which can lead to nonlinear distortion in amplifiers and affect overall system performance. A higher crest factor can necessitate more robust (and often costly) power amplifiers to handle the peaks without distortion. Managing crest factor is essential for optimizing the efficiency and reliability of OFDM systems.

Channel estimation in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) refers to the process of estimating the characteristics of the communication channel through which the OFDM signals are transmitted. This estimation is crucial for accurately recovering the transmitted data, as it allows the receiver to compensate for the effects of multipath fading and frequency-selective fading inherent in wireless channels. Techniques such as pilot symbols and training sequences are often used to aid in the estimation process. Accurate channel estimation helps improve the overall performance and reliability of the OFDM system.
OFDM uses 48 subchannels for data and 4 are used as Pilot Carriers.
In OFDM, sub-carrier spacing is maintained in such a way that the maximum of one sub-carrier occurs at the minimum of the successive sub-carrier, a loss of orthogonality results if this pattern is not achieved in the sub-carriers of OFDM transmission. Loss of orthogonality is due to ISI, ICS, Frequency offset amongst the sub-carriers of OFDM.

Because OFDM systems use orthogonal frequency(carrier),at the receiver the others copies from multipath has a different phases from the direct one, and by multiplying the generated carrier in the receiver with all received signal and integrated it over [-pi,+pi] only one the direct signal have (1) at the output and the others have(0) output.
