OFDM convoluted with sampling Impulse train (sin(x)/x) OFDM Waveform DAC sampling rate : 40Ms/s Multiple unwanted OFDM images Wanted OFDM Waveform Comments : The baseband spectral shape should be able to pass the WLAN standard. The analog filter should have about 30dB rejection at 30MHz. With DAC who have internal interpolation (up-sampling) the filter specification could be relaxed significantly.
