Beamwidth
The angle, in degrees, between the two half-power points (-3 dB) of an antenna beam, where more than 90% of the energy is radiated.
OFDM
OFDM was proposed in the late 1960s, and in 1970, US patent was issued. OFDM encodes a single transmission into
multiple sub-carriers. All the slow subchannel are then multiplexed into one fast combined channel.
The trouble with traditional FDM is that the guard bands waste bandwidth and thus reduce capacity. OFDM selects channels that overlap but do not interfere with each other.
OFDM works because the frequencies of the subcarriers are selected so that at each subcarrier frequency, all other subcarriers do not contribute to overall waveform.
In this example, three subcarriers are overlapped but do not interfere with each other. Notice that only the peaks of each subcarrier carry data. At the peak of each of the subcarriers, the other two subcarriers have zero amplitude.
