Performance analysis for WFRFT-OFDM systems to carrier frequency offset in doubly selective fading channels

Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the effects of frequency offset to Weighted fractional Fourier transform (WFRFT) system under the time frequency fading channel. The expression of signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) due to ICI and ISI is derived for the first time. The bit error rate (BER) performance of BPSK modulation scheme of single-carrier (SC), OFDM and WFRFT-OFDM systems are simulated respectively. Simulation results show that when carrier offset exists, WFRFT system has superiority over both SC and OFDM systems by choosing an optimal fractional order.
