The effects of phase noise in COFDM

Tech Review 276

The reception of a COFDM signal is analyzed here for the case where phase noise has been added to the signal, e.g. by a receiver local oscillator. Two effects are distinguished: common phase error (a rotation of the signal constellation) and inter-carrier interference (similar to additive Gaussian noise).
