Closed Form BER Expressions for BPSK OFDM Systems with Frequency Offset

摘要

This letter addresses the performance degradation caused by the presence of carrier frequency offset (CFO) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Accurate closed form bit error rate (BER) expressions for BPSK-OFDM systems impaired by frequency offset are derived. The analysis is carried out for flat and frequency selective Rayleigh fading channels. Simulation results have been used to cross-check the accuracy of the theoretical analysis.
