In OFDM, what is the length of the cyclic suffix that is added before windowing? I searched for length of cyclic suffix but all I can find information about is the cyclic prefix, I want to know also if there is short guard interval and long guard interval does it affect the length of the suffix
You, as the designer of an OFDM system, define the length of the CP based on your requirements.

The main requirements are:


Long enough to "swallow" the duration of the longest expected channel impulse response to inhibit ISI / make the linear convolution channel effect look like a circular convolution
Not longer than necessary, since it "wastes" transmit time, and thus reduces data rate
(optional, depending) in a length that allows for efficient synchronization (e.g. via Schmidl&amp;Cox)


So, there's no single answer to this. The answer is:


  It depends, and when you've fully understood the reason why we use CP in OFDM systems, this will become very much more intuitive.
