Simulations of Networks in OPNET and Implementation of OFDM in ADS

Abstract

The OPNET software was used to simulate the different scenarios of the networks which clearly explain the way the data is transmitted and received. We also find a lot about different topologies and how subnets can be used to effectively connect nodes in a network. The easy-to-use and drag-and-drop nature of OPNET helped a lot in simulating networks in star topology, creating different types of servers for each department of a campus network. The papers on wireless networks were very enlightening, awakening us to different standards presently in use, like, 802.11, 802.16, etc.


The second half of the project included simulating ofdm in ADS. It is a case in point of the use of communication systems in present day technologies. We came to know of the use of ofdm in present wireless technologies. The advantages and disadvantages of ofdm also came to the fore. The ADS software’s user-friendly interface was very helpful in simulating the transmitter and receiver.
