Abstract

Multicarrier CDMA methods have been widely explored in recent work. An important drawback of multicarrier schemes is their sensitivity to frequency offset. In this paper, we develop an analytical expression for the error incurred through frequency offset, and look at the benefits of filtering the carrier signals, thus spacing carrier frequencies further apart.
