Abstract:In this paper, we analyzed the effects of carrier frequency offset for Weighted fractional Fourier transform (WFRFT) system under the time frequency fading channel. The expression of signaltointerference ratio (SIR) due to intercarrier interference (ICI) and intersymbol interference (ISI) is derived and the bit error rate (BER) performance of the BPSK modulation scheme are simulated for singlecarrier (SC), OFDM and WFRFTOFDM systems respectively. Simulation results show that when carrier offset exists, the WFRFT system has superiority over both SC and OFDM systems after choosing an optimal fractional order by experiment.
