英文摘要：

In this paper, the performance of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） systems with residual carrier frequency offset over time-varying Rayleigh channels is investigated. Due to the presence of noise and implementation loss of synchronization algorithms, residual frequency offset exist in the OFDM receivers, which degraded the performance of OFDM systems. Channels＇ variations also destroy the orthogonality between subcarriers, resulting in intercarrier interference （ICI）, which increases an irreducible error floor in proportion to the normalized Doppler frequency. Therefore, a systematic performance analysis of OFDM systems in these circumstances is required. In this paper, the power of different received signal components （the desired signal, the ICI signals caused by frequency offset and channel variation, and noise signals） are firstly calculated and analyzed, and the SINR （Signal to Interference plus Noise ratio） and BER （Bit Error Rates） calculations for 16-QAM OFDM systems are then investigated. Analytical analysis and computer simulations show the following important results ： （1） residual frequency offset and channels＇ time variations greatly degraded the performance of OFDM systems （2）the intercarrier interference （ICI） energy caused by channel variations and frequency offset is concentrated in cyclically adjacent intercarriers; （3） the influence of residual carrier frequency offset on OFDM system performance can be modeled as the effects of equivalent channels＇ time variations ,and then a time-varying channel model including the residual carrier frequency offset effect is proposed.
