摘要
In this paper, the hit-error rate (BER) performance and capacity of asynchronous space-time block-coded (STBC) multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) systems in the presence of carrier frequency offset (CFO) between the transmitter and receiver oscillators are analyzed. The exact BER expression when using equal gain combining (EGC) and the approximate BER expression when using maximum ratio combining (MRC) are derived. These BER expressions are verified through simulations. Using these derived expressions, the achievable system capacity satisfying a minimum BER requirement can be studied for the two cases when EGC and MRC are used and, hence, it is possible to compare the achievable capacity of STBC MC-CDMA systems with that of MC-CDMA systems. It is concluded that small CFO has an insignificant effect on the BER and capacity of STBC MC-CDMA systems and that this range of CFO is important in transceiver design. Besides, STBC MC-CDMA systems with multiple receive antennas can achieve higher capacity than that of the MC-CDMA systems; this amount can be obtained analytically using the theoretical BER expressions derived.
