Which modulation technique is best for the 5G ( MIMO based antenna system) wifi application ? usually OFDM is recommended for this application. Since there is some disadvantages of OFDM.

  • OFDM is sensitive to Doppler shift - frequency errors offset the receiver and if not corrected the orthogonality between the carriers is degraded.
  • Sensitive to frequency timing issues.
  • Possesses a high peak to average power ratio - this requires the use of linear power amplifiers which are less efficient than non-linear ones and this results in higher battery consumption.
  • The cyclic prefix used causes a lowering of the overall spectral efficiency.
