Why OFDM subcarriers are orthogonal — the math behind the “O”
OFDM subcarriers are orthogonal over a symbol period; how that yields independent flat bins after the DFT, and how CP protects that orthogonality.

What a 5G NR physical resource block is (12 subcarriers), how it sits in the frame/slot grid, PRB bandwidth vs numerology μ, Python, and links to BWP and OFDM tools.
How long should the OFDM cyclic prefix be? CP must cover the channel delay spread so the FFT sees circular convolution — Matlab hands-on plus overhead calculator.
OFDM BER simulation vs Eb/N0 in Matlab with cyclic prefix: MPSK/MQAM on subcarriers in AWGN, and how results compare to single-carrier theory.
OFDM part 3: packing QAM symbols onto subcarriers, IFFT to time domain, and how this builds the multicarrier waveform.
