Abstract :
This paper presents an analytical framework for the performance evaluation of an MC-CDMA forward-link in the presence of nonlinear distortions induced by transmitter´s high-power amplifiers. The statistical characterization of the decision variable used for data detection is carried out through the application of the Bussgang theorem. Simulation results validate the accuracy of the proposed method under typical operating conditions1.
