• For baseband communication, FFT-based multicarrier modulation is called DMT. • Bit-loading is often incorporated in DMT.

• Baseband communication requires a real valued signal. • For N subcarriers (QAM-modulated) a 2N-size FFT is used. xn

Shannon’s Channel Capacity
Claude Elwood Shannon, the father of information theory. ”A Mathematical Theory of Communications”, 1948. Shannon derived the fundamental limits for transmission of information (communication). Theorem: ”Let a discrete channel have the capacity C and a discrete source the entropy per second H . If H
