Abstract
We investigate the sensitivity of a downlink MC-DS-CDMA system to carrier frequency offsets. It is shown that the resulting interference power depends only on the ratio of the frequency offset to the carrier spacing. Hence, for given a frequency offset and system bandwidth, the MC-DS-CDMA performance degradation is independent of the spreading factor but increases with the number of carriers; equivalently, for given frequency offset and symbol rate, the performance degradation increases with the ratio of the number of carriers to the spreading factor.Keywords
