Abstract

It is well known that the OFDM system is weak against the frequency offset. The frequency offset attenuates the received signal power and makes the performance bound in the OFDM transmission. We show the performance bound of the OFDM transmission with the frequency offset under the additive white Gaussian noise channel by the numerical method. According to the results, increasing the transmitting power is not useful to improve the performance, when the frequency offset exits. The performance degradation is very severe as the frequency offset increases.
