**Cyclic Delay Diversity** (**CDD**) is a [diversity scheme](/source/Diversity_scheme) used in [OFDM](/source/OFDM)-based telecommunication systems, transforming spatial diversity into frequency diversity and thus avoiding [intersymbol interference](/source/Intersymbol_interference).

CDD was introduced in 2001 and can gain frequency diversity at the receiver without changing the [SISO](/source/Single-Input_and_Single-Output) receiver structure.

The idea of CDD for OFDM had previously also been submitted as a patent application in September 2000.
