“Someone I know” definition:
Convert bits of information into an electromagnetic wave
Digital modulations here

6. FBMC-OQAM principle
We want:
• Good time-frequency localization
•Full spectral efficiency
But how? Balian-Low…
Use staggered lattices to circumvent the
Balian-Low theorem
Idea used by FBMC-OQAM modulations
[Chang, 66], [Saltzberg, 67]
Link to Wilson bases.

0 mod 2, which only occurs when Δ𝑚 = Δ𝑙 = 0 mod 2.
Hence, 𝑔[𝑛] should be designed to cancel those terms.
“Ambiguity function”: real for real and
even pulse 𝑔[𝑛]
is only non zero if Δ𝑚 + Δ𝑙 + Δ𝑙Δ𝑚 =
Δ𝑚 = 𝑚 − 𝑚0, Δ𝑙 = 𝑙 − 𝑙0

15. Pros and cons
48
Advantages of MC systems: easy channel
equalization…
High data rate
Filter well time-frequency localized:
Higher complexity… especially in certain
scenarios. Need for more investigation, many
open issues.
Wait… Good for us ! We like complex things !
That means that there is still a lot to do !
