Abstract:
A method in a transmitter circuit of generating a signal comprising a first sequence of OFDM symbols, which are to be transmitted within a frequency sub band of a second sequence of OFDM symbols is disclosed. A first cyclic prefix (CP) of the second sequence of OFDM symbols has a first duration, and a second CP of the second sequence of OFDM symbols has a second duration. In order to generate both the first and the second cyclic prefix with an integer number of equidistant samples, a first sampling rate is required. The method comprises generating the signal comprising the first sequence of OFDM symbols at a second sampling rate, lower than the first sampling rate, and adjusting a sampling phase during CPs.
