Advanced Signal Processing
A guard interval is a period of silence or time added between transmitted symbols in a communication system, designed to prevent interference from multipath propagation and to ensure the integrity of the transmitted signal. In the context of Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM), the guard interval is crucial for maintaining signal quality by reducing inter-symbol interference (ISI) caused by delayed signals reflecting off obstacles.
congrats on reading the definition of Guard Interval. now let's actually learn it.
