Dave, We have not taken a formal position with regard to COFDM; please excuse that I cannot comment on it at this stage. I gave some definitions of wideband in an earlier post today. The carriers issue was an issue in the past (and unfortunately for most engineers patents solve old problems so that they are not problems any more). Everyone now knows the concept of synchronizing on a header that is not a OFDM (or multicarrier) header. Using a simple or a complex channel estimator with OFDM was not as apparent in the late 1980s as it is now (again that patents describe it in detail). OFDM is not a classical single carrier communications scheme and most concepts from the past did not lend themselves to OFDM in an obvious way. Thank you for your interest. Hatim
