    The vector C_n represents just integer values of the base function f1 - ist that right? Or can use other step sizes e.g. f2 = 1.5*f1; f3 = 3*f1.....

    They need to be integer, in order to maintain the orthogonality between the subcarriers. Hopefully this video explains it: "OFDM Waveforms" kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGp2lq2ympXYfNo.html

    2:04 If only the first element is nonzero, the output of IDFT has to be the DC value, not the sinusoid of fundamental frequency. The subcarriers range from C_0 to C_{N-1}. C_0 will correspond to the DC value at the output and C_1 will give the fundamental sinusoid of period = N. Please respond if I am wrong.

    Yes, you're right. I simplified the diagram, only showing the elements of the vector that relate to the data-carrying sub channels.

    @@iain_explains I did not understood how output of IDFT is sinusoidal with .output of IDFT will be all of same elements for given example right.

    Try running these lines of code in Matlab: X=zeros(1,40); % Frequency domain vector X(2)=1; % Put data into the first subcarrier (only) ... note that X(1) corresponds to f=0 x=ifft(X); % Use IFFT to generate time domain signal stem(real(x)) % plot the time domain signal
