We develop a novel and simple formula to estimate the Bit Error Rate of OFDM systems subject to Carrier Frequency Offsets and Additive Gaussian White Noise. We also develop an improved formula to estimate the Degradation caused by CFOs and AWGN.95 pagesAvailable to the World Wide WebThe effects of carrier frequency offsets on the performance of OFDM systemsThesis
