Re: Peaks when increasing the FFT lenght ofdm example

[pv]

Hi Johannes,

First of all thanks for the quick response and time with my problem.

I've made a text file with all specifications of my OFDM example that  
can be found in the attachments of this mail.

Thanks again with your help and anything more just let me know.

Best regards,
Pedro Viegas
