Chapter 9

Simulator

Abstract

In this chapter, we present an open-source simulator, including several waveforms, i.e., cyclic prefix-based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, windowed-OFDM, universal filtered OFDM, discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM, offset QAM filter-bank multicarrier, and QAM filter-bank multicarrier, various hardware impairments, i.e., power amplifier nonlinearity, oscillator phase noise, and carrier frequency offset, and a geometry-based stochastic channel model supporting millimeter-wave channel emulation up to 80 GHz. Such an open-source waveform simulator allows a fair comparison to be made between different waveforms under different channel and hardware impairments.
