Abstract: With the introduction of new technology in wireless applications with high data rate and increase of existing wireless services, need for additional bandwidth is speedily enhancing. Existing spectrum allocation policies of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) forbids unlicensed access to licensed spectrum, confining them to various heavily populated, interference-prone frequency bands, which causes shortage in spectrum. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is used for cognitive radio (CR) transmission because it supports high data rates that are vigorous to channel impairments. The immense problem for transmission of OFDM is high out-of-band (OOB) radiation, which is due to sinc-type function representing the symbols throughout one time constant. Thus, high sidelobe may happen that will intervene with neighboring transmissions. In this paper we used windowing techniques to decrease the effects of sidelobe transmission.
