What is the main disadvantage of FDMA technique?
Disadvantages of FDMA :
Due to the simultaneous transmission of a large number of frequencies, there is a possibility of inter modulation distortion at the transponder. It is suitable only for analog signals. Storage, enhancement of signals is not possible.
What are the advantages of SC-FDMA?
Owing to its inherent single carrier structure, a prominent advantage of SC-FDMA over OFDM and OFDMA is that its transmit signal has a lower peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), resulting in relaxed design parameters in the transmit path of a subscriber unit.
What is the benefit of SC-FDMA compared to OFDMA?
SC- FDMA has a lower PAPR and lower sensitivity to carrier frequency errors while OFDMA provides better frequency diversity resulting in better immunity against multipath fading.
