The document provides an introduction to Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technique. It discusses that OFDM divides the available spectrum into multiple subcarriers, with each subcarrier being modulated by a low data rate stream. This allows high-speed data transmission and effectiveness in combating frequency selective fading channels. The document also gives a brief history of OFDM, describes how OFDM relates to multicarrier transmission, and lists some applications of OFDM such as digital audio broadcasting, high-definition television, and wireless LAN standards.
