description Filter bank multicarrier with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (FBMC/OQAM) is an emerging waveform for next generation optical communications, which applies filter banks to the multicarrier signal and eliminates the need for cyclic prefix (CP) used in the popular orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system.
