摘要
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals are very sensitive to radio frequency (RF) impairments. One of the major impairments is the mismatching errors between the in-phase (1) and quadrature (Q) branches in the up and down-conversions. The I/Q mismatching errors can include phase and amplitude mismatching errors. These mismatching errors make the signal constellation expand and rotate, which severely degrades the performance of OFDM systems. In this paper, a closed-form expression for the bit error rate (BER) of the OFDM system in I/Q mismatching error environments is derived as a function of phase and amplitude mismatching error parameters. This enables a convenient and useful evaluation of the performance of OFDM communication systems with I/Q mismatching errors. The derived analytical expression is validated by the fact that computer simulation results closely match with the analytical derivation results.
