Performance analysis of OFDM modulation on in-vehicle channels in the frequency band up to 100 MHz

This paper analyses the performance of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system on invehicle power line channels. The achievable bit-rate as function of the cyclic prefix length and the number of subcarriers is obtained over a set of measured channels. Statistical results are drawn and the system parameters design is undertaken determining the values that maximize the system performance.
