I. Acknowledgements
At the end of my thesis I would like to thank all those people who made this thesis possible and
an unforgettable experience for me.
First of all, I would like to express my deepest sense of gratitude to my thesis advisor Prof. Dr.
Michael Stichler for his patience and encouragement during thesis period. He steered me to the
right direction whenever I need it. Also Digital Signal Processing and Advanced Digital
Communication Systems lectures instructed by Prof. Dr. Stichler has been very important for me
to gain necessary knowledge to do my thesis.
I would like to thank to my second advisor Prof. Dr. Holger Stahl for his trust and support.
Wireless Communication Systems Lecture he taught has been massive start to interest further
about mobile commination Systems.
My special thanks goes to my elder brother Mehmet Colak for his financial support during my
studies in Germany. His encouragement during my master degree has been important. I feel
gratefull for all my family in Turkey for their support and trust.
I am gratefull to all my friends and classmates for their support and friendship which made me
feel at home. Among my friends I would like to mention my colleague Aiyman Saad who has
always welcome when I needed to discuss about Matlab simulations.
I used several references but one is very important to start my thesis work. In order for me to gain
fundamental signal processing knowledge necessary to do my thesis, I have studied the book
‘contemporary communication systems using Matlab, third edition ’ and practiced sample Matlab
codes in the book. I would like to send many thanks to the authors of this book John G. Proakis,
Masoud Salehi and Gerhard Bauch.
I owe my special thanks to the other university Professors that I took lectures during my studies
in Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies master degree program at the Rosenheim
University of Applied Sciences. I learned a lot from the lectures and the laboratory experiements.4
II. Abstract
In this thesis two candidate multicarrier waveforms for the physical interface of 5G are compared
to Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). One candidate waveform is Filter
Bank Multi-Carrier (FBMC) where each carrier is filtered before transmission to eliminate inter
carrier interference and inter symbol interference. Second candidate waveform is Universal
Filtered Multi-Carrier (UFMC) where blocks of subcarriers are filtered before transmission and
reception for the same purpose of eliminating inter carrier and inter symbol interferences. Error
Vector Magnitude analysis, Power Spectral Density analysis, Complementary Cumulative
Distribution Function analysis, Adjacent Channel Power Ratio analysis and several other metric
analysis are performed using Matlab simulations to characterize the waveforms.
Keywords: Master Thesis, PPN FBMC, OFDM, UFMC, Matlab simulation.5
III. Preface
This thesis is written to fulfill the requirements of Masters of Engineering degree in the Electrical
Engineering and Information Technologies master degree program. The project has been carried
out over a period of 7 months at Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences. The supervisors for
this Project were Prof. Dr. Marcus Stichler and Prof. Dr. Holger Stahl.
