Abstract
A transceiver includes a receive unit and a transmit unit. The receive unit is adapted to receive a prefix width parameter. The transmit unit includes a modulator and a cyclic prefix unit. The modulator is adapted to receive digital data and generate an output symbol based on the digital data. The output symbol includes a plurality of waveform samples. The cyclic prefix unit is adapted to receive the output symbol and the prefix width parameter. The cyclic prefix unit generate a cyclic prefix based on a subset of the plurality of waveform samples and prepends the cyclic prefix to the output symbol to generate a transmit symbol. The size of the subset is based on the prefix width parameter. A method for adjusting the symbol rate of a transceiver includes receiving a prefix width parameter and receiving digital data. An output symbol is generated based on the digital data. The output symbol includes a plurality of waveform samples. A cyclic prefix is generated based on a subset of the plurality of waveform samples. The cyclic prefix is prepended to the output symbol to generate a transmit symbol. The size of the subset is based on the prefix width parameter.
