Which outcome occurs when intersymbol interference exceeds the guard interval within orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)?

💡 Explanation

Loss of subcarrier orthogonality occurs because the orthogonality is maintained within the guard interval, which is designed to avoid intersymbol interference. Therefore, the intended spectral separation diminishes, rather than maintaining error metrics under severe conditions.
