Description
Summary:This paper presents an analytical framework for the theoretical characterization and performance evaluation of an MC-CDMA forward-link in the presence of nonlinear distortions induced by transmitter's high-power amplifiers. The analytical characterization of the signal features, both in the time and frequency domains, is carried out through the application of the Bussgang theorem. Simulation results are derived to validate the accuracy of the proposed method under typical operating conditions
